"30"
While seeing lifeforms scurry
Heard it all from a little birdie
This morning the birds extra chirpy
Can't take too long, got to hurry
In order to make the best of this journey
Got to hold on sturdy
And stack up turkey
Realizing what is and isn't worthy
None of it is going to deter me
Animals and people being shirty
Humans being flirty
And quirky
Often putting themselves firstly
The lines are getting murky
Sounds like a free-for-all A.K.A. Destruction Derby
Vision getting blurry
My cup always dirty
Still getting up early
I use to worry
Bothered me, like it hurt me
Just leads you more quickly toward the gurney
Now I just push on with super-saiyan fury
You'd think I popped a perky
Or had on a jersey
Recently turned thirty
On a planet with constant controversy
And often no mercy
As another Earthling
It's disturbing
That problems keep returning
Ten Hut!
Heads up!
Otherwise you'll be a dead duck
And get setup
You ain't got a damn clue
Because you've never had to
I use to, but no longer do I feel bad for you
Always the party goes
Go ahead and call me Luigi or Mario
Sometimes working on cardio
When I turn into Bowser, it'll take more than an army yo
Funny thing is, nearly everybody hardly knows
You really ain't got the smarts or heart it shows
Send you into another dimension, I'm not sorry though
