[Intro] "We used to laugh, we used to cry We used to bow our heads then, wonder why And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on And make the best of what you've left to me Left to me, left to me I need you like the flower needs the rain You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again You know I need you..." [Verse 1: Milo] And I'm left holding the spilled milk carton Will bargain for Chrysler car plants and filth spartans Proficient nausesous summons and saw shirt bu*tons on wrinkled lapels Tumblr photo credit to David LaChapelle I'm in hell I got nervous and traced my palm veins I wanna dedicate my life to building small trains Too much dust in the basement and I am there with a conductor's hat Visualize a lead brick to realize I'm living under that I saw Snoop Lion crip walk down the hall of nightmares The talisman was right there I never learned to fight fair

[Outro] "If I wrote the greatest rap song, I wouldn't let you hear it If this was the greatest rap song, you wouldn't have heard it, what?"
