| When I was a smaller Eagle
|
| I was told I’d be richer than a lot of people
|
| I was dressed like a very important boy
|
| In my K-Mart brand sweaters and corduroys
|
| And when the girlies looked down, it was really over
|
| Black argyle socks and new penny loafers
|
| I was erudite
|
| The type of kid that most parents liked
|
| I never begged 'em for a pair of Nikes
|
| Cause I was studying brine shrimp and parasites
|
| And learning how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
|
| (Nerd Alert!)
|
| With thick glasses and everything
|
| Supposed to have big cash when I’m seventeen
|
| From working in research labs with acetylene torches
|
| And a flying Porsche with leather wings
|
| But looking back I wasn’t too clever
|
| Cause I grew up to be the smartest broke dude ever
|
| But since it’s too late for my goals
|
| I’mma start a party that they can’t control
|
| From the Blowed, Swim Team got the H2O
|
| So we gon' start a party that they can’t control, yo
|
| I never found no ancient scroll
|
| But I’mma start a party that they can’t control
|
| You know my crew get the money and the fame and go
|
| And we gon' start a party that they can’t control
|
| I be in my kitchen chewing on chicken fat
|
| Thinking about Twitter, I should have invented that
|
| That’s not gold from a man’s mind
|
| It’s just a whole bunch of code on command lines
|
| I get ideas but they explode like land mines
|
| I blame the Masons, they control us with hand signs
|
| I also blame the school system
|
| Except I used to teach, so I fools with 'em
|
| They taught me all about metaphors
|
| And other shit to make me smart but extra poor
|
| Like which rivers flow through Ecuador
|
| I got a high IQ and low credit score
|
| A lot of rich cats are dumb as shit
|
| They just work loopholes in the government
|
| But how much dough these dummies gon' get
|
| Raise investment capital, put your money on this right here
|
| But since it’s too late for my goals
|
| I’mma start a party that they can’t control
|
| From the Blowed, Swim Team got the H2O
|
| So we gon' start a party that they can’t control, yo
|
| I never found no ancient scroll
|
| But I’mma start a party that they can’t control
|
| You know my crew get the money and the fame and go
|
| And we gon' start a party that they can’t control |
