Breathe Out
They talk a lot of "c"
Breathe in
Because I refuse to kiss their "a"
Breathe out
They got me "c"
Breathe in
Thought I was like the other "J"
Breathe out
I can show better than I can tell
Breathe in
Yet why should I waste any "t"?
Breathe out
They keep playing and they are going to
Breathe in
Bring the "D" "I" right out of me.
Breathe out
Whisper don't shout
Putting my hands into my pockets
And space between myself and them
Semper Fi and simplify
I could snap my fingers
Placing the Smokey brim hard against their forehead
Make them do push ups until I got tired
Or bring exhaustion to the problem
