I'm spunky. I like my oatmeal lumpy.
I'm sick wit dis, straight gangsta mack
but sometimes I get ridiculous
I'll eat up all your crackers and your licorice
In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?

I once got busy in a burger king bathroom.
Adooorooor dooorooor, Adooorooor doooroor.
