Patrick Strump:

What is it we wanna do?

Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you

Birthday girl its your birthday

Wherever you wanna go

Now you are old enough to go and see the r-rated show now

R-rated show

Black Thought

Yo, she said she was a magazine editor named jenning

Backstage in high heels and painted on jeans

Probably had the most devious eyes I'd ever seen

Told me she was twenty-two she was only seventeen

She had sumthin' to hide she snuck in from outside

And got everybody gassed like the car I drive

With all that grown lady ass and my for rap vibe

She said she came to see them roots boy fallout live

But listen

Black Thought:

You see the girls look good but they brains not ready

I talk to a woman, he mind more steady

Probably something in the way they designed just more steady

I just let you recite cause the line so heavy

But I shoulda known better cause now I feel like america's underbelly

R. Kelly got a smart better less, internet predators, chat-room irregulars

This not my twist

You trying to send me to the therapist

Black Thought;

Now she told me cheddar cheese grits

Two tomato fried fish

Cause she heard its my dish

Tryna be my sidekick

All the people all around thinking she was my chick

Saying damn the girl thick

But she aint no twenty-six

Looking at me like am up to sumthin' on the funny tip

Like I ever been the one to honey jib

Its your birthday so let me know the gift you wanna get

In fact blow out the candles on the cake and make a wish for me

Patrick Strump:

They can't really seem to look away

So they tried asking her to stay

Fake I.d. You won't get turned away

You look lovely tonight

Now you are old enough to buy a gun

So many better ways of having fun

Right now I can only think of one

You look lovely tonight.
