I.O.U.

Lyrics

Yeah, levitatin' off the blacktop
 Used to struggle getting started now I can't stop
 Used to be the quiet kid in the sandbox
 Now it's "Hands up" every time that your man rocks
 You oughta stop me coming in again
 You mad?
 You thought we were synonyms
 Too bad, that's the water you're gettin' in
 You're too fat for the sharks that you're swimming in
 From where I'm sitting contenders
 Are looking like fruits spinning around in a blender
 Hardly a snack when I'm here lookin' for dinner
 I eat 'em, delete 'em, they're barely beginners
 Main course is my main sport
 Play major, but minor's my main fort
 Put a chain around everything I came for
 Look but don't touch, sucker, tell 'em take an I.O.U!
 Say they want respect now
 Thinking they deserve to have it next now
 Tell 'em take an I.O.U
 Believin' what they makin' up
 Talking loud, but never really sayin' much
 Tell 'em take an I.O.U
 I been drawin' plans out
 And they think I'm givin' them a handout
 Tell 'em take an I.O.U
 Thinking they're entitled to a piece, no
 I don't think so
 Tell 'em take an I.O.U
 Levitatin' in the blackout
 Used to drink at least a forty, 'fore we mashed out
 Used to think that workin' forty was a max-out
 Now I'm workin' even when I'm sleepin', do the math now
 'Cause even when I'm sleepin', eyes keep 'em open
 Stripe across 'em both the color of your hemoglobin
 A huge act man like I'm known for being Logan
 X-23 I'm keen to leave 'em with a femur broken
 Takin' it too far, I don't know maybe
 Friends like "Mike I don't know who you are lately"
 But pride and hate has made nay-sayers mistake me
 For wasting brain space on ratings they gave me
 I don't need your respect, I got history
 I'm '81 Reagan with that nonsense, miss me
 Father like Francis, Anakin or John Misty
 Not to be touched, sucker, tell 'em take an I.O.U!
 Say they want respect now
 Thinking they deserve to have it next now
 Tell 'em take an I.O.U
 Believin' what they makin' up
 Talking loud but never really sayin' much
 Tell 'em take an I.O.U
 I been drawin' plans out
 And they think I'm givin' them a handout
 Tell 'em take an I.O.U
 Thinking they're entitled to a piece, no
 I don't think so
 Tell 'em take an I.O.U
