are you worried 'cos I'm playing in your sandbox?
cause a commotion by the way I make my hair toss
I didn't know that was all it took to start a riot
to watch you set yourself on fire
get strung up any higher and you'll pass out
take a deep breath and let it out
how am I so different that I can make you lose it?
do I get you bothered?
level with me now
do you have a problem?
then tell it to me now
turning over tables
tying up your pedal cables
by the way you're acting I could be a one-person chain reaction
don't you look so surprised in every headshot
go toe to toe with me this time and get your head rocked
I didn't mean to knock you so far off-kilter
except you really needed it
like a whiskey to the face
make some changes in this place
don't you know we're too legit to quit?
do I get you bothered?
level with me now
do you have a problem?
then tell it to me now
turning over tables
tying up your pedal cables
by the way you're acting I could be a one-person chain reaction...
turn it down a notch
give yourself a breather
I'm not all that frightening
it could be enlightening
open up your ears
open up your eyes
open up your mind
and let me in
i-i-inside...!
