Nosebleed
Tyler the Creator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back like niggas on the bus with
A Rosa Park state of mind
I don't give a fuck
And I'm strollin' down south
Like Good Luck Chuck
In a Malcolm X shirt chilling
Circus cost five, but I'm charging niggas six
Don't touch the fuckin' bottle
The doctor gave a prescription
For antidepressants, demons sign the petition
In the devil's home banging pots
And pans in the kitchen
And fuck you this is the nosebleed
And fuck you (The devil's comin')
(Mothafucka go home)
I'm from the city where it's
Windy and the church
They got them niggas with cold feet
And bitches with gold teeth
Weren't dressed the same color or
The stripes was Polkadot
With green eyes, long hair
Black bitch like Pocahontas
When niggas fail in college
Nikons and Canons for them
Black and white collages
Your pocket cheese is cottage
Yeah, them blue is wet
Dumb niggas bang your set
I scream "OF" like I just
Learned the fucking alphabet
And my favorite color, what is it? Oh, yeah
It's yellow 'Cause the bass that I kick
Sound like a Tonka
BAPE section in my closet
Look like Willy Wonka
Better hide them Oompa Loompas
I'm a motherfuckin' monster
And fuck you this is the nosebleed
Yeah, and fuck you (The devil's comin')
(Mothafucka go home)
Now my family matters and everyone's a Urkel
Now the fuckin' losers and the
Squares got they own circle
Niggas with some mullets and they
Got some trigger pullies
It's revenge of the lames
What? We're torturin' the bullies
Niggas hoodies and hoodies with patches
We some rebels ridin' on that
War ship, pray devil, worship
Crucify the horses in the
Stable when I'm able when the horse shit
Bootleg cable with the text
Talkin' to the ghost of Amistad posters
Soul made of bacon of that bread
To get a loaf of
Lay you out, same chick, no gay shit
If you got a fuckin' problem
Catch me on my day-shift
You can check your history back
To the Karl Marx the only Newton laws that I
Follow is "Fuck 'em all"
Fuck the government and Reagan
That's in any season i'm a fuckin' animal
Somebody better warn a vegan
Fuck LAUSD I mean that shit for me
Here's a "Fuck you"
Give that to the district for free
Dark deep coral for your brain oral
Just a bunch of teenagers with no morals
Bitch
