Idiot Gear

"And then 4 months down the road the idiot gear kicks in,

and I ask about the ex-boyfriend which,

as we all know is a really dumb move but you know how it is --

you don't want to know, but you just have to know, right?

You know, stupid guy bullshit."

[Louis Logic]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls:

in this corner quivering in the white trunks

we have the unsuspecting boyfriend facing up to the champion,

his well-seasoned girlfriend.

The three knockdown rule is in full effect

[Verse 1]

Ding Ding

That's the sound of curiousity peaking like cops that pat you down

Boyfriends probably seeking the dirt on the skirt as if he's deep in the earth

Like who had reached in the shirt and who was sleeping with her, but hey --

She's only human and probably only doing the dude who she loves most

So you know who she's screwing

But while you're lying there spooning assuming life is just all good

You indavertently missed the size of the falsehood

Living life in a small hood you probably collide

With lots of the guys who used to climb on top of your wife

So it's not a surprise you're asking the stupidest questions:

'Who was the best in the sack?' and 'How many dudes have you slept with?'

But the chance is, you didn't want them answers

And can't live with it she used to be just a dancer

Making the fast tips you would stuff her pants with

And fast as mass transit she thought you were romantic

[Chorus]

I'm so glad we met (hey shorty)

Come on girl try to be patient, I know I'm a pain in the ass

But your ex-boyfriend has me stressed (back off dude)

And all of the sex stuff should just remain in the past

But we can't get married yet, (no we can't get married yet)

It isn't just that its greener, its also the length of the grass

But somehow you keep on running to me -- and we keep living in fear of the idiot gear

[Verse 2]

Right about this time, most of y'all are just wishin that this was fiction

And itchin to ask your chick if your dick isn't a depiction

Of fitting inside a stitching when you're sewing it up

And to think that most of this stuff is just over a fuck

I know what you're thinking, we've all grown up with women

And living without em seems like its harder than living with em

But if you hit em, you'll probably end up living in prison fellas

Then you'll be someone's bitch -- I hope your girlfriend isn't jealous

This cinderella shit is totally irrelevant

You'll never get a girl older than 7 thats been celibate

Cause every chick has been around the block with a guy or ten

And guys are sensitive, its better that you lie to them

Even the violent men who's dressed up in street clothes

With stilettos and heat knows they got delicate egos

If she chose to tell you all persons with whom

She put in work in the room, it would burst your balloon

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Looking at your sweetest snapshot, that's when you start to wonder

About the backdrop of her other lovers

When you discover another flick of her hidden up under there

Dressed in summer wear, with her ex giving her bunny ears

And no one wants to share their chick with last guy

To get rid of the bad vibes you figured you ask why

Her past life is still chilling in the picture frame

She'd probably forget his name if the dick's the same

Which is lame, but for some dumb reason

The last bum seeps into your dreams and you become unseasoned

Then one evening, you build up the heart to ask her

Disaster -- with your lungs breathin hard as asthma

And after she breaks down and tells you the truth

It leads to a fight and she's yelling at you

And I'm convinced of this: being your queen's only king

Yo man see Louis right -- ignorance is bliss

[Chorus]

Oh what's a guy to do

Now listen to me papi

You're all fucking idiots

How do you like them apples?

"You know what I don't think we need to do the thing

where we tell each other everything ..."
