(Damn)
I ordered something, it took a while
This morning something was on my doorstep
What's this I'm holding?
Time capsule order, cause I'm a brand new man
And I don't think I want it
I don't think I want it,
a row of flags
Hanging behind me
A garden of mics and questions and photo flashes blind me
And I'm so high, I can't recall my statements,
I only know I made them, because my face vibrated
Is it all in my mind?
I could've sworn I saw it
I thought I was fine
So fine is what I called it
Oh-oh if you're feeling small, and you can't draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
Oh-oh if you're feeling small, and you can't draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
I was gruntled when it was just feet on gravel
To have come apart, I must have once been raveled
Now when pretty phrases don't mean nothing
And i want to sell em, i sing the line again
So smooth you can hear the beard,
So smooth you can hear the beard,
(hear the beard)
Three times it's poetry,
So smooth you can hear the beard
Oh-oh if you're feeling small, and you can't draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
Oh-oh if you're feeling small, and you can't draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
If you can't draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
And if you can't draw a crowd, settle for what you can draw
I'm just saying
I'm just saying
What I said? that I'm just saying
But many wait to what I'm saying
Always come back again, I can't ignore it
I'm a brand new man, but I'm still payin' for it
Oh-oh if you're feeling small, and you can't draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
Oh-oh if you're feeling small, and you can't draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
If you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on a wall
If you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on a wall
And if you can't draw a crowd, settle for what you can draw
I only wanted to be Stevie Wonder
But I got to settle for this Vannila Thunder
(If you can't draw a crowd)
this Vannila Thunder
(If you can't draw a crowd)
this Vannila Thunder
(If you can't draw a crowd)
this Vannila Thunder
(If you can't draw a crowd)
(If you're feeling small)
