Song language: English
Problematic |
| I grew up as your usual suburbanite |
| A tiny town in Massachusetts |
| Overwhelmingly white ♪ |
| I went to church on Sundays |
| In a suit and a tie |
| Then spent my free time |
| Watching Family Guy |
| I started doing comedy |
| When I was just a sheltered kid |
| I wrote offensive shit |
| And I said it |
| Father, please forgive me |
| For I did not realize what I did |
| Or that I’d live to regret it |
| Times are changing |
| And I’m getting old |
| Are you gonna hold me accountable? |
| My bed is empty, and I’m getting cold |
| Isn’t anybody gonna |
| Hold me accountable? |
| I’m problematic |
| He’s a problem |
| When I was 17, on Halloween |
| I dressed up as Aladdin |
| He’s a problem |
| I did not darken my skin |
| But still it feels weird in hindsight |
| I want to show you |
| How I’m growing as a person, but first |
| I feel I must address the lyrics |
| From the previous verse |
| I tried to hide behind my childhood |
| And that’s not okay |
| My actions are my own |
| I won’t explain them away |
| I’ve done a lot of self-reflecting |
| Since I started singing this song |
| I was totally wrong when I said it |
| Father, please forgive me |
| For I did not realize what I did |
| Or that I’d live to regret it |
| Times are changing |
| And I’m getting old |
| Are you gonna hold me accountable? |
| My bed is empty, and I’m getting cold |
| Isn’t anybody gonna |
| Hold me accountable? |
| I’m problematic |
| He’s a problem |
| I just remembered that Aladdin costume’s |
| In my mother’s attic |
| He’s a problem |
| I’m gonna go home and burn it… |
| Or not burn it. |
| Is burning it bad? |
| What should I do with it? |
| And I’ve been totally awful |
| My closet is chock-full of stuff |
| That is vaguely shitty |
| All of it was perfectly lawful |
| Just not very thoughtful at all |
| And just really shitty |
| And I’ve been totally awful |
| My closet is chock-full of stuff |
| That is vaguely shitty |
| All of it was perfectly lawful |
| Just not very thoughtful at all |
| And just really |
| And I’m really fucking sorry |
| Bitch, I’m trying to listen |
| Shit, I’ve been complacent |
| Sorry |
| If I’m gonna catch up |
| First, I gotta fess up |
| Sorry |
| Sorry |
