Garbage Man

[Verse 1] (Don't even look at me) I'm just a garbage man Working in my garden With heart in hand Watching the harvest of Artistland The new plants want the same thing That stars demand (Don't even look at us) Abrasive as a carpet burn Right before the key to your apartment turns We take the needle off of Hard to Earn And lock it up in its mason jar preserved A 9.5 for the dismount In the underground My title is viscount I got a trick up my sleeve To rip up the scene So give us the keys Cause we're entitled to this house Shit outta luck Cause your lease is up Plus it's time to upgrade Your speakers suck Since the nineties You cleaned them once Since then the only thing we've seen is dust [Bridge] Go on get your movie roles But when you're going to the studio (We see you) While you're touring overseas We're home looking through your groceries (We see you) Yeah I heard you holler weird rap But what about your shit from years back (We see you) It's a tangible raw That grabs you by your face Like the mandible claw [Verse 2] (Don't even look at us) Clothes washed with the best detergent They're budgetarily blessed for certain (Look at the catering) The olive oil's extra virgin I'm trying to keep quiet But my flesh is burning I think we deserve some food Shit even the freaks in the circus do They never greet us with a serving spoon And that makes me want to cease to observe the rules We can steal the sheep herding tools Like jumping on stage and barking crap Even more convincing in stocking caps And shaped up goatees like Mark McGrath In the teeny bop magazines And represent a really hot rapper scene I don't have to front I know what I want Me posing in front of a steaming hot DAT machine [Bridge 2] Looking pretty in your makeup But really shitty when you wake up (We see you) Wrote down everything you told your crew Cause it's what we're gonna hold you to (We see you) You cuff her like a girlfriend But we know where your girl's been (We see you) Give us the things we demanded from ya'll Or we'll take it Cause that's just the animal law [Verse 3] (Don't even look at me) I'm just a garbage man Walking down an alley Shopping cart in hand Rummaging apartment cans Waiting for this mother ship of ours to land (Don't even look at us) God must've made us wrong Just listen to the bullshit we say on songs (Had some strong days) But they all gone We wasted 'em writing odes to Rae Dawn Chong We use to hold crayons wrong Until we got trained To obey ya'll's laws But radio won't play our songs So we rising on up Like a rayon thong Cause ya'll played hundreds of duds Beats that sound like plungers in mud Put your ear to the ground Hear the thunderous buzz Art Rap parties Crack under the club
