lyrics

I'm in the burbs bumping urban
in the suburban drinking bourbon
now i'm burping and I'm certain
that some vermin type of serpent
is lurking while the beat's perking
if you're knees working well then just keep twerking
till be they be hurting
then peace, we deserting
sweet, like desserting
and these bees just be chirping
i mean the birds chirping
nerds jerking, words lurking
add a little derka derka
okay you can stop twerking

Cause I'm another level, too strong
much higher than what you on
I'm that missing ingredient in the green, a crouton
Jacking your queen on my king sized fouton
pink bright louis viton then we turn the movie on
Next we got to doing the things that to you think could be wrong
but come on now flaunt it, it's what I've wanted
it's killing me, I'm haunted, she said let's go, then we jaunted
cause my flow can make you move we're in juliard
stop acting like a noob and showing me you truly are
I should take a broom to this room
then presume to zoom and go shoot
cause you knoe that I'm a movie star

I've been around world from fiji to france
Smoking weed in the vans
Put my feet in these vans
and then we can all proceed to dance
all proceeds go to cancer
I'm a really nice dancer
Well that came out of nowhere
Ya I dunno where I was headed but I am sure that we will go there
Put on ratted clothes ya these gloves are my old pair
But every time I wear them though I seem to get a bold glare
Like I'm the mayor smooth like John Mayer
everyone grooves to the move of my hair
lose I don't care, do it I dare you
step right on up to the booth be aware to
don't stare
colder than polar bear
your toes just froze nose closed
whenever you blow air
shoulda stayed home there
under the warm stairs
watching Colbert with your au pair
when out of nowhere
I appeared with a weird beard like an ogre
haggard like haggard not feelings sober
keeling on floor watching ceilings turn over and over
