"Yeah you don't know what it's like when you try, and you try and you try, and you try, but you don't ever get there!" (chorus) You can say what you want You can pose and front But yo, it don't really matter You can scream You can yell Succeed or fail But you'll slowly start to shatter You can fight You can write You can piss and gripe And try to climb up the ladder But know this, the abyss will swallow And kiss as you become decompost matter (verse 1) I don't care If my record sells Or if thousands crowd and they yell I don't care If the hip-hop heads turn away And say Pigeon John has turned gay See I don't care Workin as an office clerk To pay rent and to save my sense And I don't care If only two people come to my show I'll still make dents come
