Twiztid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now what up world? Welcome to my level
Remember me? I'm the devil!
Well, obviously I'm really not
Just really hot look I got the cops wit' me
What's everyone's problem indeed?
A question I ask so oftenly
But, behind closed doors you're applauding
Don't you see?
I'm from a whole 'nother dimension
Where demon flicks and chicks wit'
Big tit's get my attention!
When I'm painted up
Lookin' like a freak show
Headed for a mime convention!
Loose screws, I'll admit it!
You can hear it every time I hit it!
I don't do voodoo, but start to finish
I'mma put a little darkness in it!
Mothafuckas come get it!
I'm just a little bit different
But I guess it doesn't matter
To anybody who isn't
I'm on a ladder wit' extension
Cords about to jump
Losin' interest in livin'
I've had enough!
Like a comic book shop
I got a lotta bad issues
Many sad stories for snot rags and tissues
Lotta bad luck
At least I have a country song worth
I've been a loser since the
Day my momma gave birth
I don't feel no wear
But used to how they label me
And pick me apart and then
Hopin' that they disable me
Am I trippin' and thinkin'
About a past life?
I'm standin' over my own
Self holdin' a flashlight!
Tryna look him in my eyes like the rest do
And while I'm bein' me I
Wonder why I upset you call me different
I'm different in every way and bein' me
Bein' strange is a part of my forte
Surrounded by those that feel the same way
We embrace individuality on the daily!
Nocturnal, meanin' I don't sleep
And there's always room in the
Fam for more black sheep!
I'm different, some wanna call me ignorant
So what I wanna get so drunk
Then I end up in the trunk
In a pool of my own sick, "Dude
You're an idiot!" so cool
Just to be somethin' so
Far from the ordinary
Like stars ain't another one in
The sky like me
And like bars I'mma give it a shot
You'll see you're Venus, I'm Mars
Galaxies between us, there are
Many different reasons by far
But I don't really care what they are
I'm gonna stay, me every day
Don't matter what anybody in here say!
I'mma do it for everybody that
Wanted me to bring change
I could never leave 'em hangin'
Like a key chain!
