The Joke & the Gentleman

So pucker up and kiss the ass that you would kill

To kick. because i hate to see you suffer, but

It's the toughest of it that keeps my bones thick.

I wonder what it takes to be a man. i take a look

At my reflection, and then i look at you. i still

Don't understand. suck it up and chill, the beat

Goes on and on, my friend. i know reality is a

Bitch, but buddy, where were you when she needed

You then? do i even have to say? considering

Everything that you said but not once to me. if

We're taking this to war, i sing a song of battle.

I can feel it in my throat, but buddy i'm not

Wasting all my time. until then, we've got a score

To settle. every promise that you broke will be

The words you choke on. if you grow up, i'll watch

My back if you watch where you spit. i'm the king

Of confrontation, but something tells me that

You're just not worth it. so laugh it off or take

Your shot. the cuts can hurt so bad. i'm giving

This the best i got, 'cause this is the best i've

Ever had... if anything should happen there's

Something you don't want to witness. this is

Passion. this is my gut reaction. if anything

Should happen, son, it's on. don't you forget

This. it's over. watch your winter turn colder.

It's over and your december is that much colder.
