To rip it, just givin' you a sample, a fuckin' snippet (Snip it), like scissors do
Now when I hit the booth, I think of the days of old when I was quick to fool
Used to fly off the handle like a fuckin' witch's broom
I called it pluckin' flowers 'cause I was so quick to pick a tool up (Click-click)

But somethin' don't add up, I don't wanna be overdramatic
But look at the data, it's obvious that humans are fragile
We tend to get mad at the ones that call us out but the fact is we need someone that'll be honest when we fly off the handle
I admit I throw a fit when I begin to unravel
