Can you rap this is mine I don't really know why I try cause you just wanna lay down and cry
every time I feel the power your face turned sour Michael Maurer’s
but then he that funny guy on TV but then every time I go to the movie theaters, I want it in 3D
I think I’m weird but then again, I am queer
Why you be hating and then I’m tired of Explaining
You been the sore on my back and that is just a fact
You’re asking me why you’re Under attack
you have Been trying to spit out water, but I've been spitting out fire
you don’t quite understand but I think this is just God's plan
You're trying to make sense of things I'm over here creating planes
as time moves on, I stay Strong
I'm tired of this fighting cause now my flames are blinding
I’m done with you and You should too
