Lyrics:
Can someone out there please help me
Think about the bad hand life dealt me
I’m a loose cannon
yeh a loose cannon
at this rate I’m a problem waiting to happen
Can someone out there please save me
There’s a bed in hell Satan has made me
I’m a bad apple
Full of frag shrapnel
I’m more than you think than you can handle
Chorus:
When I get sad, I sit and sing the blues
When I get mad, I put it in a rap and then I blow a fuse, and now
I’m so scared, this will get the best of me, my
Life I swear, this will be the death of me, beware
On the mic I am proficient I command precision
Like a grand magician’s sleight of hand
As a musician my condition is efficient sufficient proficient
Switching to a different position I’m deficient
The people I hurt with my deeds and my words, I pray the Lord forgives all mistakes
Back in the day I’d get carried away, I’m seconds away from my fall from grace
I’m like R Kelly’s belief he can fly, The spirit of Fred Mercury in the sky
Like Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen with tongs, Like Chris Brown making a chivalrous song
Playing with persona of Diego Maradona
Marion Jones on a track and the star spangled banner on her
On tracks I rap crazy, soul of that lady,
back to black Amy, ghost of Pat Swayze
Chorus
I bring fire, inspire like Kanye West on beats
I’m the rest of the Taylor Swift acceptance speech
And we could be an IT couple kinda like Bobby and Whitney
Ike and Tina, Kutcher when he was still with Brittany
like Jim Morrison, opening doors, MJ doing a pose on the floor
Unique like Mystikal voice and rhythm, bringing the joy like Joy Division
Like PAC and BIG being so tight, like The Game rapping ‘bout his own life
like Kurt Kobain when he started the band, like Charles and Jackson in their last stand
status quo average Joe but with the baddest flow,
McEnroe before the racket throw, Siegfried Roy Magic show
swinging like Tiger woods Coz I rhyme
as good as John Candy flicks or Mike Tyson Hooks
Chorus
The term of Bill Clinton, Joker done by Heath Ledger
Mad max Mel Gibson, Christian Bale under pressure
Cut from the same cloth As Charlie Sheen in Bueler’s day off
Evel Knieval takeoff/Pam and Dave Hoff in Bay Watch
All the player haters I despise, Anticipating,
waiting on the day of my demise, it’s time to rise
you’re in your prime, It’s a fortunate time,
but we are walking the line Between applause and decline,
Though I had a good run, I still pull stunts, they look stunned,
Usurp the norm with a return to form
I’m like Drew Barrymore throwing the booze out the door
Al Gore has a new cause to rally for
Chorus
Like Slick Rick, I mastered the art of story telling
Instead of recalling the same story you’ re reselling
Like Eminem’s recovery, Royce being led into the Slaughterhouse
Both of them sorting out their falling out
Russell Crowe film, a Mariah Carey song
Not the other way round, do not ever get it wrong
Robert Downey Junior’s iron man, Fat Joe on a diet plan
Ali and Foreman boxing fight, telling Lance “on your bike”
