Say Uncle

Lyrics

Eternal flame above my headstones
 The set that I claim is null
 X made of bones as revenge for the decaying skull
 A raging bull 'til I'm paid in full
 They wanna put my face in her penny then discontinue me, I'm still grateful
 If we're not allowed to age gracefully
 I'm putting it all out on the table, exactly what will you take from me?
 Choose carefully cause a magical head
 Has no phanton power source and the battery's are dead
 Supposed to keep my head up, at the same time drop my shoulder
 To plow through the nonsense, since I've gotten older
 I've replaced too many parts in this motor
 Mama said "knock down the house - start over"
 Sometimes it feels like life is too long, but not forever enough
 One day you can't give it away, the next you basically beg for the stuff
 Medical breakthrough, buy your time, sell it to us
 For heaven is an electrical pole, an adrenaline rush
 The metal will rust, rust never sleeps if it's death and taxes
 Get a better conversion rate on cash because the past is a foreign land
 But futuristic looking doormats
 Sitting aside of our present home which really isn't all that
 So we started taking pictures with vintage filters
 The village is all starting to shop at Urban Outfits
 I couldn't distinguish any specific difference
 Between small town hicks and big city slickers
 A marginless time zone from Westcoast to Eastcoast
 Now I'm so Hostpost that i'm pre-post
 Beat most at their own game
 I try to eat hoes that's wholegrain
 And I don't need to bow bow bow bow to blow brain
 Make 'em say uncle
 I don't give up, I don't give in
 What's with this polluted genepool that we all swim in?
 This is 5 foot 10 inches of wishful thinking
 I never signed a social contract so in fact there's no rescinding
 You can kindly cross my name off
 I've been living a double life to work a double shift that never paid off
 This is the second sunset I've seen since take-off
 If life is a cakewalk I'll serve you in the bake off
 Make 'em say uncle, make 'em say uncle
 Who? Make 'em say uncle - huh
 Make 'em say uncle - who?
 Make 'em say uncle, uncle
 You know what I am
 Say what, say what?
 I'm a mad, mad man
 Make 'em
 Make 'em say uncle, make 'em say uncle
 Who? Make 'em say uncle - huh
 Make 'em say uncle - who?
 Make 'em say uncle, uncle
 Drowned by the bloods that's on their hands
 Say what, say what?
 Got damn
 The gravedigger creeps into the crypt then strips the bed
 To find agendas that are hidden like pigeon eggs
 Instead he finds nothing, only ink dipped feathers
 And a sense perhaps the homie's homing instincts been severed
 The coupes been fleed to recruit on what these boots have led
 Can't hear the primal screams or see through the red
 I represent the late bloomers with great rumors to spread
 Our brain is like an inflated tumor in the head
 Now build a map when it [?] climb it with a velvet rope
 Predators can't find you with a telescope, run tell your folks
 You love them darely, but it's time for the birdie to fly
 Packs himself a dress, envelopes and kiss the world goodbye
 You on our own with celestial oats to the sow
 Extraterrestrial souls in 'em, you're a homegrown information capsule
 With increased value the more you travel
 Don't let them plant you in the gravel
 Even shackles have shackles, that's a shadow reference
 We like to break the chains of darkness and we ask for seconds
 It's the heart of the Oliver Twisted calling on all mystics
 I don't advocate the Diablo, Pablo runs the repo men resistance
 It's a four decade's worth of first impressions, youngin
 Death comes in three's, you're soon to see the second coming
 But dad told me I was destined for something
 Despite the fact that I felt like less than nothing
 He's a fucker, gonna make 'em say
 Make 'em say uncle, make 'em say uncle
 Who? Make 'em say uncle - huh
 Make 'em say uncle - who?
 Make 'em say uncle, uncle
 You know what I am
 Say what, say what?
 I'm a mad, mad man
 Make 'em
 Make 'em say uncle, make 'em say uncle
 Who? Make 'em say uncle - huh
 Make 'em say uncle - who?
 Make 'em say uncle, uncle
 Drowned by the bloods that's on their hands
 Say what, say what?
 Got damn
 I'm not just an uncle, I'm somewhat poet
 I'm a dead milk mental
 An obscure top ten list essential
 Welcome to the incredible shrinken Indian giving drink
 Time to return the sap that shit isn't free
 Need to keep my head up, at the same time drop my shoulder
 To plow through the nonsense, since I've gotten older
 I've replaced too many parts in this motor
 Mama said "knock down the house - start over"
