[Verse 1]
Heaven, have mercy on the hypnic jerk you blame for your speech
Walk around the block again
Wait 'til I feel cool and straight
With a diaristic bent on undertaking
[Pre-Chorus]
Careful, steady
Are we steady?
Cruel and ready
[Chorus]
I'm not bossy, I'm the boss
Shooter, not the shot
On the tip and fit to execute
I'm chief, not the overthrown
Captain, not a crony
So if you wanna row, you better have an awfully big boat
[Verse 2]
Holding a package from a total stranger who claims to know me
Naw, you never knew me, man, not even a fraction
You just glimpsed your own reflection in a gold sheen
[Chorus]
I'm not bossy, I'm the boss
Shooter, not the shot
Well-composed with keys to raise the skate
I'm chief, not the overthrown
Captain, not a crony
So if you wanna throw, you better have an awfully big stone
[Bridge]
We could hang out for the summer while you wait for your girl
Dip a toe 'til it's soaked and freezing
But just because I let you k** time dangling me from the quarry
Doesn't mean that I won't land on my feet
[Chorus]
That's cause I'm the boss
Caller of the shots
Sutanejo, never spit to me
Chief, play my own right hand
Not haggish, but the hag
How naïve to trample
She who's running from the stampede
I'm raising the skate
Look, I'm raising the skate
