Like a fickle kid’s face at the plate – unimpressed
Sucks to gawk at mediocrity constantly when you’re the best
Also blows to know your overall score’s below the rest
So rise above each other brothers or color me unimpressed

Yes my best guess is that I’ve been blessed
With a method to assess all the answers to the test
When the mental gymnastics judges pin the medal on my crest
All you wackos can’t hack it was never a contest

Still stressed after all these many years in the trench
Drenched in the stench of failure sittin’ on the bench
While the rest of the squad celebrates the pennant they will clench
I’m hammerin’ hard drives like a monkey with a wrench

I’m a mensch, gonna munch on evildoers for my lunch
Unless someone more gutsy wants to beat me to the punch
Didn’t fix the outage but you know I got a hunch
I prefer Kentucky bourbon to mimosas with my brunch

Bones crunch when I check my expectations to the boards
And stand atop the podium at the mediocrity awards
Hordes of hoarding overlords boring out our gourds
So I order servers neatly in the rack and cut the cords

Dressed with an old stressed hoodie on my chest
I step into the den with extra attention to invest
Start spitting witticisms ‘til the record gets pressed
Then spare a second guess for the shit I just confessed

I addressed a few topics I probably shoulda not
I obsess over events that are better off forgotten
I’m not convinced I’m rotten but honestly what I got
Is a lotta alliteration literally obliteratin’ the plot

“Hey Scott why’d you drop all these monotone rhymes?”
I get asked by tens of fans exactly zero hundred times
Somebody musta greased up the charts i’m tryna climb
Cuz the streams won’t increase up to nickels and dimes

Sometimes I like to whittle on the midi in the lab
Taking jabs at the man like a curmudgeonly old crab
Plucking errant nasal hairs and picking madly at a scab
While porn stars act like rabbits on an incognito tab

Trying to stay warm while the world turns cold
I’ve been wrestling with depression since eleven years old
Forty seven in the rear view mirror all told
Never could arrange ‘em changing lead metal into gold

So I fold up the towel before I toss it in the trash
Can’t achieve the alchemy of turning artwork into cash
And all I have to stash is a large pile of ash
Left over from the flash when the system chassis crashed

Unabashed I keep smashing my head against the brick
Thinking repetition’s assistin’ my mission to do the trick
Admittedly timidly spitting these missives is pretty slick
But carbon copied actions framed as practice make me sick

I got a lotta odd little baubles in my noggin
They’re moshing around sloshing like a toddler on a toboggan
I’m dogging all the problems are clogging up the logs
And Slogging through the fog out on a memory jog
