Gravy Boatz
Twiztid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Chorus x3)
Mashed potatos, we're unable to row, riding on a gravy boat
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh gravy boat!

(Jamie Madrox)
We run shit like constipation on Ex-Lax
All up in your pocket like Uncle Sam and the income tax
Can you relax when shit is run a mile a minute?
Play the industry like pussy,
grab your dick and get up in it
(Are you in it to win it?)
As we prevail, with shit so obese
that it's tipping the scale
I been to Hell, heavy hot mothaf**ka
walking the Earth since child birth
Never went to school, and when I did, I ate my homework
Never played a fool, and if I did, I was a poser
You can't blame a nerd for trying to get closer
(Now I'm the poster boy!)
For geeks and freaks and chainsaw murderers
that seldom ever sleep
They call me Stay-Puft Marshmellow
Man cause I was so fat my arms
looked like they were sectioned off in rubber bands
Would it ever change?
I prayed and hope it
Throw a scoop of mash potatos,
see the chorus for the gravy boat

(Chorus x3)
Mashed potatos, we're unable to row, riding on a gravy boat
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh gravy boat!


(Monoxide Child)
I'm on D!
Obstruction of justice and all that
F**k the cops, where my mothaf**king dogs at?
Your corner boy with the teddy bear nose,
and the fake ass asortment of hoes
I'm changing clothes like a true scrub, maybe twice a week
And smoking weed till my eyeballs bleed
Once I hit the Lotto
Crazy money, millions and G's,
and then I split that shit on the trees
Treat me like the freak I am
Don't ever route me on a tour to Japan,
I base it all up on my sound scan
So glad you leave my tastebuds fiending, with a slow jam singing, and some fake thug clinging to ya
I see the gangstas just walk on through,
and ain't a mothaf**king thing you can do
Shit, my brain blew out on concrete,
but my feet keep moving to another beat
Like the Jedi Luke Skywalker

(Chorus x3)
Mashed potatos, we're unable to row, riding on a gravy boat
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh gravy boat!

*musical interlude*

(Chorus x3)




Mashed potatos, we're unable to row, riding on a gravy boat
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh gravy boat!

Overall Meaning

The song starts off with a catchy chorus about riding on a "gravy boat" and being unable to row due to being weighed down by mashed potatoes. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is essentially a boastful and rebellious celebration of being different and standing out from the crowd. Jamie Madrox raps about his unique upbringing and how he never conformed to societal norms, while Monoxide Child asserts his individuality by refusing to be labeled or categorized. Both artists demonstrate a strong sense of confidence and pride in their uniqueness, and the song serves as a celebration of those who defy expectations and refuse to conform.


The lyrics of the song are full of interesting wordplay and metaphors, such as comparing the music industry to a woman and themselves to men trying to conquer her. They also make references to popular culture, such as Stay-Puft Marshmellow Man from Ghostbusters and Jedi Luke Skywalker from Star Wars. The overall message of the song is one of empowerment and rebellion against conformity, and it is a fun and energetic anthem for those who refuse to be boxed in by societal expectations.
