"Man I Love" by Ella Fitzgerald (Ella Fitzgerald Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Songbook)
lyrics
pick myself apart, start at the heart
my mind’s carrion like the avian flu
no, not a farce, lark, aardvark, or a car shark
just a compulsive liar, all these statements are true
soon as i pick up the pen, i’m in bed with ten virgin dime pieces
givin me head, i’m poppin hymens like baby jesus
wrote it all down like my name was saint john
with raps dirtier than what you rub yo taint on
it ain’t wrong, but i ain’t right
walter white type when i write I’m ike fiendin for that klondike
psyche, just need to get that out of my system
i’m but a dead man walking amongst the living
my visions the whole windshield, you looking through a pinwheel
i’m blowing o’s to thin air, you hoping to just inhale
like swimming without fish scales, drowning now you in hell
kid, we already been here, you ill? i’ve never been well
so don’t be walking to me with no fuckin hands out
hands down, man down if you stand out
i’m knocking camps out till they can’t doubt
i’m the motherfucking man, right
i’m the motherfucking man that i love
every motherfucker redundant to me like a tug
job, i'm puffin like a tug boat, one toke’ll give you sunstroke
till you saying dumb quotes, cuzzo
i’m not tryna bowl with you, now or never
but i’ll smoke a bowl with you of chowder
unidentifiable but i ain’t liable i’m trying you for libel
if you even try it, bruh
so don’t be running to me with your fuckin hands out
beat you like rick james on my bro’s damn couch
treat you worse than white dudes when you pass out
and feed you pancakes after at my house, bitches
