Open Mike Eagle - Celebrity Reduction Prayer lyrics
rate me(Intro)
La la lalala
I know I invited u, I still want ya to leave now
This is a whole long thing just telling ya to leave my mind, leave
(Verse)
I woke up down in this dungeon, I've made mistakes in my judgements
I've built ya up in my head this is my prayer for yo reduction
You're not my aunt, uncle or cousin, not yo nephew or yo husband
Ya think just becuz ya buzzing ya got licence but ya doesn't
I hugged ya like a glo worm, come down now cuz it's yo turn
I ain't got nothin' but time I like that long haul to that slow burn
I did too much of my homework
Killed my confidence wit this research
I've put people on pedestals ego's reaction is knee-jerk
I'm tryna work on my weakness
It's not all roses & peaches, it's no secret
I've found my self in a funk for a whole weekend
Ova email failures & DMs
'Did they get that shit? Should I re send?!'
What should I do when I see them?
Talk all soft & passive like Cleveland
Even wise men can go mindless
Voluntarily rockin' them blinders
It generates all this shyness callin' sum' otha human 'yo highness'
They forgot about when they punched clocks
Wit Capri Suns in their lunchbox
Bad haircut wit those sunspots
Drank fruit punch and wore dumb socks, yeah!
(Hook)
You're not my moms, you're not my father
You're not my food, you're not my water
Not yo earth, you're not my luva
What the fuck is my problem?
It's a prayer for the American religion
You're not my food, you're not my java
Not my nurse, you're not my doctor
Not my priest, you're not my lama
What the fuck is my problem?
It's a prayer for the American religion
(Verse 2)
It's not worth my attention
Let alone all of these mentions
This first time is a warnin', the next move is suspension
I got my own lapses in thinking, my processes were stinking
You're not Gandhi, you're not Yoda, you're not President Lincoln
Give a fuck if ya was Oprah, Wolf Blitzer, or Al Roker
If ya try to put yoself ova I'll laugh at ya like The Joker
This hellfire is my culture, put magic all in these cold words
I'm ya as the slogan put up mirrors instead of these posters
Watch me smash all of these idols got all my own heavyweight title
There's no upper tier, we're all peers unless y'all want to be rivals
Talent's just a foundation rapped in festivals & in basements
If I eva lost my head I got good friends to replace it
Gives a fuck if you're on TV, ya still poop & ya still pee pee
Ya sat down & got started not knowing there wasn't no TP
Ya got up then and ya waddled
That shit might happen tomorrow
Whether you're a ball playa, a stage actor, or international model
I don't care, neither should no one, I'll say that shit to Hulk Hogan
Obama down to Joe Rogan
Head of the studio that made Frozen
My brain is variable tape speed, SubGenius or hayseed
Try wavin' yo resume, all of a sudden I can't read, yeah!
(Pre-Hook)
Get yo name, fame can make ya evil
And that's the shame cuz we done lost so many people
It gets ingrained & we start behavin' like a sheep do
This song is a prayer ya should aim it where ya need to
When ya say it they believe ya
This is a prayer & ya should aim it where ya need to
(Hook)
