Kleptomaniac
MC Chris Lyrics

I got your lighter, man i got your flame
I possess your lighter and the flame it produces

I’m a kleptomaniac klep-klep-kleptomaniac
I am a compulsive thief, stealing items uncontrollably

Before the bar stool there was art school
Prior to spending time at the bar, I attended school for art

Part worst part of my life also part cool
Art school had both negative and positive aspects in my life

I like finger biting writing for the screen
I enjoy creating provocative and gripping scripts for the entertainment industry

But I must have been miffed
I must have been annoyed or dissatisfied

Cause I’d lift magazines it became a habit
Due to my dissatisfaction, I started stealing magazines and it turned into a habit

Almost over night shoplifters of the world
Almost instantly, I joined the community of shoplifters

Time to reunite i am not the first
It is time to unite with other shoplifters as I am not the first to engage in this behavior

To de- a purse least I’m not a serial killer
Although I stole from purses, I should be relieved that I am not a serial killer

Really it could be worse
The situation could be more dire or unfavorable

Somewhere deep inside
Within the depths of my being

Must have felt deprived sneak in on the sly
There must have been a sense of lack or deprivation that made me stealthily sneak into places

You become alive with the stolen good
The act of stealing gives a sense of vitality and excitement

With this evil act
By committing this immoral deed

Maybe what was taken from me
Perhaps what was stolen from me in the past

Would be back at last known as dine and dash
Would finally return, known as the act of dining and dashing

Out the door I’d book with a overlooked
I would swiftly exit the establishment with something that was not noticed

Got me hooked
This behavior became addictive or captivating for me

I need knick and knacks
I have a craving for small random objects

All my emptiness remains defiantly intact
Despite stealing, my feeling of emptiness persists stubbornly

Did I fail to mention
Did I neglect to say

Though I’m willing to work
Even though I am ready to find employment

Everybody was jerks
Everyone treated me poorly or rudely

(They’d knock my dick in the dirt)
(They would aggressively and demeaningly bring me down)

Read an issue of Rolling Stone
I read a copy of the magazine Rolling Stone

Said Tisch was the shitter
The magazine discussed negative aspects of Tisch School of the Arts

I transferred in the winter
I moved to a different school during the winter season

So you can call me a quitter
Therefore, you can label me as someone who gives up easily

All I needed was a spark
All I required was some form of inspiration

And I finally felt united
And at last, I experienced a sense of unity or belonging

But your issues will come with you
However, your problems will accompany you

Even though they aren’t invited
Despite not being asked to join you

You can roam, You can ramble
You are free to wander or wander aimlessly

From location to another
From one place to another

Brother let me warn you
My friend, allow me to caution you

Being a burglar is a bummer
Engaging in burglary is disappointing or unpleasant

They said I’d go far
People believed I would achieve great success

Now I’m stealing postcards
However, now I am stealing postcards

My conscience says "Fail"
My moral compass tells me that I am making mistakes

Then flails with both arms
Then it waves its metaphorical arms wildly

No one tried to stop me oddly I wanted more
Strangely, nobody attempted to prevent me from stealing, which only increased my desire for more

Stole a broom in broad daylight
I pilfered a broom during the daytime, without attempting to hide

Out of a grocery store
From a store that sells food and other products

Something out of every interior
I would take something from every space or area

I would walk inside
I would enter establishments

Microscopic and meaningless
Tiny and without significance

In my hand I would hide
I would conceal it in my hand

I got busted for robbing
I got caught for committing theft

Some Robitussin a lot lady came up crying
A woman approached me in distress after I stole some Robitussin

Trying to give me a five
Attempting to hand me a five dollar bill

Said, "I’d be so sad if my daughter was sick
She expressed that she would be tremendously upset if her daughter were unwell

And I had to steal medicine"
And if she had to resort to stealing medicine for her

My addiction was licked
I conquered my addiction

No more tempting the fates
I will no longer tempt fate or provoke negative consequences

No more retail revenge
No more seeking revenge through shoplifting

No more stealing from my fellow man
No more taking belongings from other individuals

Because I’m upset
Because I am frustrated or unhappy

Starting smoking weed
I began using marijuana

A muslim taught me bonging stop talking
I learned how to use a bong from a person who practices Islam and they advised me to be quiet

Or I’m a Oklahoma bombing
Otherwise, I would commit a violent act similar to the Oklahoma City bombing

Found a fat kid in class all about glass
I discovered a overweight student in my class who was very knowledgeable about glass products for smoking

We watched 90210
We watched the television show Beverly Hills, 90210

While we smoked the dro fast
While we quickly consumed marijuana

Every time I pass every single site
Whenever I walk by any location

I find something in my pocket
I discover something within my pocket

From my musical life
Related to my involvement in the music industry

Now I’m a klepto with Zippos
Currently, I am a compulsive thief specifically with regard to Zippo lighters

I got a bevy of Bics
I have a variety of Bic lighters

Hold on to your lighter
Guard and protect your lighter

Or get the five finger dis (s)
Or else it will be stolen from you using the technique known as the five finger discount

I got your lighter, man i got your flame
I have acquired your lighter, my friend, and possess the ability to ignite it

I’m a kleptomaniac klep-klep-kleptomaniac
I am a compulsive thief, continuously engaging in theft
