Misery

[Chorus: Collette and Danny!] (Misery I, say goodbye) It's kinda hard to say But it's time that we part ways, hey (Byyyyyyyyeeeee) Life ain't impossible Pain is inevitable but misery is optional (Maybe if I say goodbye This one time I'll be set free Or maybe I'm dreamin') [Verse 1] My thoughts are lofty And to floss would cost me But I'm awfully thrifty Not at all Rick Ross, geez I'm just a member of the working class That means I go to work, then class It hurts to have the perfect craft And not be able to go further than Thurston Ave When people tell me I'm the shit, I just smirk and laugh When people say I ain't legit, it hurts me worse than stabs Depression gettin' in the way of my blessings Now I could easily go pop some purple Pills, load off and curse you and Still feel like the bouncing egg from Zoloft commercials A Percocet-addicted Nervous wreck, ballistic Twisted nerd infected with a sickness Worse than hepatittis Titis, I'm just tryin' to get this stress to stay behind me Even though it's hard to come up, like when my lady rides me Find me a way to cope and I'll say that I did it Misery loves company, but I can't afford to pay her no visits [Chorus] [Verse 2] Except this one time Your boy D-Diggety Had a dream that Misery Came to my house invited I tried to hide, decreased the volume on the TV Thinkin' she wouldn't notice Oh this ain't no way to cheat fate It's Misery, for Pete's sake! So I let her in, breathin' calm She told me stories like a veteran, Vietnam She knew me better than the Mexicans that read my palm I watched her rummage through old memories I deemed as gone Like um, like when my lady played me While the radio wouldn't Labels that asked for demos and stole my instrumentals, damn The time that I got expelled The time they lost the bail And I was convinced I'd rot in jail The times I walked through hell, yeah She mentioned my stillborn with this air of nonchalance Not even my confidantes are aware of this, I just couldn't bare it SO I told her to leave, pick up her things because she's stressin' me We was cool before but Misery gon' be the death of me, I swear But she just stood there, scared that I might snap I looked in her eyes and there were years of disappointment starin' right back And I was scared too, scared of what she would say But I was embarassed like I, like I sat through three Madea plays Before she walked away, Misery stopped And she said "look at your music career, you're in the same spot" "Nah," I said, "don't even try me Because you used to stand beside me But I moved so far ahead you're ninety feet behind me" [Chorus]
