Bestestist
Beefy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I look like the guy on the episode of that show ya know
Keeping up with me, because I play for keeps
I got my ink for free, my baby less than three
I get around, like virus in your inbox
Hot Latino blood like the runner of the White Sox
Like the Hitchhiker’s Guide, I got a heart of gold
But if ya think I’m mostly harmless then I’m ripping off your nose
Did he really say that shit? Yo I promise I didn’t mean to
But honestly, I couldn’t give two shits
You’re weak like Skee-Lo, he couldn’t make two hits
Throw your fits, like tossing Tony Little
I’m so low tech, my mic atop a CD spindle
Kissing and caressing on a girl who’s not a freak
I don’t get sleep, could write this album in a week
Go!
Don’t act like you don’t, because I know you know
Don’t act like you don’t, because I know you know
Don’t act like you don’t, because I know you know
I’m killing you with flows
I’m killing you with flows
They call me Beef Thom
Rock it with the lights on
Shake it like a pom-pom
This motherfucker’s awesome
I be the bestestist
See you can burn to this
And yo I never miss
So just throw up your fist
Staying Alive, like I’m the BGs or I’m GLaDOS
Hold the world inside my palm, rock a gauntlet like I’m Thanos
Like a clown on retainer, I’m always down to party
People scared when I roll into their town like Katamari
Come on baby, sorry. I didn’t know that you weren’t naughty
Make you feel like you’re in church. When it’s in you, you say Lordy!
Cause you’re horny like I’m horny. Don’t deny it. Don’t ignore me.
Get you wet and light headed like it’s Sealab and you're Stormy
But, um, maybe I should hit the brakes
I vomit Frosted Flakes, everything I spit is gggggreat!
Catch me in a circle like a dot, got my cootie shot
Like tectonic plates, I’ve been known to make your body rock
Corners asking whatcha got? Medicine and purple pot
Like Damien Hess yo, I’ve been known to Frontalot
Like carnies on strike, my flow is no fair
I’m not a daredevil, but the devil made me dare
Go!
Don’t act like you don’t, because I know you know
Don’t act like you don’t, because I know you know
Don’t act like you don’t, because I know you know
I’m killing you with flows
I’m killing you with flows
They call me Beef Thom
Rock it with the lights on
Shake it like a pom-pom
This motherfucker’s awesome
I be the bestestist
See you can burn to this
And yo I never miss
So just throw up your fist
