The Candyman

You say it’s hella dope to meet me And all I have to say It’s hella dope to meet you too And you’re getting hella dope today No, this won’t be memorable Of this you can be sure If your disease is reality Then I’ve got the cure 'Cause I’m the Candyman, the Candyman The most educated bartender in all of this land The Candyman, the Candyman Knocking you out with a wave of my hand It’s all about context, That’s my feeling It’s all about context, And my context is healing It’s all about context And if it isn’t All about context I’ll be in prison ‘Cause I’m the Candyman, the Candyman getting your kids just as blotto as I can the Candyman, the Candyman Packin’ the highest grade dope in all the land Yes, ma’am, I’m sure That gas smells bad But you know, ma’am, It’ll make him glad Yes ma’am I hear That syrup tastes bad But if I knew that for sure I’d be an unemployed dad Cause I’m the Candyman, the Candyman Gassing your kids just as fast as I can The Candyman, the Candyman And if I weren’t a doc I’d be living in a windowless van… 6/1/16 © By Author For Contest: That Colorful Drug Sponsor: Lewis Raynes

Thx for reading--that's what I was getting at! It's a necessary, helpful, but at times very strange job...
