| Man, I can’t believe I have to go through all of this again |
| I gave you your position What, I thought we were friends?! |
| I didn’t ask, you offered, you’re short-tempered and demanding |
| It’s my energy on stage that makes our show so outstanding |
| Look, when we first hooked up, my first thought was you’re a pansy |
| You couldn’t rap on beat, you little four-eyed geek |
| Yeah? |
| And at the club there’s a reason we don’t hang out that much |
| You’re double-fisted with two Heinekens actin like a lush |
| That’s better than a leech, I tried to teach you to be tough |
| I guess it’s hard to squeeze strength out of a cream puff |
| Oh you’re rough? |
| Yeah, that’s right Hey, let me pass you a pen |
| So you can fill an application at the Hair Club for Men |
| I meant everything I said Everything I said I meant |
| When there’s much on the line, yo, there’s times you gotta vent |
| «Ventilate» |
| We’re magnificient together, it’s a perfect combination |
| Man, you know how many times I’ve had to swallow my pride? |
| Put my feelings aside so that we wouldn’t collide? |
| I know I’m hard to get along with and much harder to work for |
| But I’m breakin my back while you’re hangin out at the bookstore |
| Yeah, but when I’m there I’m readin Icarus, kinetics in English |
| So when we make songs at least our music sounds distinguished |
| Come on man, I made this happen, you don’t appreciate shit |
| Yeah? |
| I’m the one who hustled, yo, you never put in one cent |
| You’re dead-set in your ways, your stubborness What? |
| How you think we got this far, it didn’t happen from luck |
| If I had a buck for every kid I battled and slayed |
| I’d had enough to start my own record label anyway |
| I hope you realize these songs weren’t made for free Man, I know |
| But once the cash comes back you can recoup your dough |
| Yeah bro, but you ain’t even signed a contract No, that’s wack |
| I could get stabbed in the back You should know better than that |
| Well, it’s frustrating to me, I got a lot on my plate |
| Well, you’re the one who put it there, I thought we already ate |
| Alright look, where was I back three years ago? |
| Mininum wage? |
| That’s right, and where we at now? |
| Yeah, different page |
| OK, what’s the significance of the point I’m tryin to make? |
| We sound magnificient together so let’s drop this whole debate |
| (How many states?) Not many (How many countries?) Plenty |
| (How old are both of y’all?) Let’s just say we’re in our twenties |
| (How'd you come up with the name Swollen Members?) Drunk at Denny’s |
| (Any last words?) Step up and you’ll get kicked to the curb |
| We’re strippin your verse, we’re rippin, you’re a victim of words |
| We’re both putting in work tryin to get what we deserve |
