[Intro - Slug]nLook at me for a secondnNo, seriously, look at menHonestly, ask yourself thisnLookin at me, do you really think that there is any way possible for you to embarrass me?nLook at me! Do you really think I care what you think?nDo you really think I care what you say?nLook at me!nn[Hook - All]nI'm embarrased by my past actions and even more ashamednOf my present thoughts and future endeavors to clear my name (x2)nn(x2)I'm embarrassed, I'm embarrassing, I'm an embarrassment, and it's all addin' upnn[Verse 1 - Sage Francis]nI'm so preoccupied with self indulgency to seenWhat you provided me, I fully appreciate your offeringsnAnd the awful things in are lessenednBy lessons of self-acceptance I want blessingsnAnd I regret keeping a distancenFor future reference over bridges are preventable, I know the trapsnHumanity as a whole will collapse, now close the gapsnWe dwell on what we share, and what separates usnWe're all different, but what makes us a unit?nMusic is a universal language; so is anguish, pain, and tormentnBalance of emotions, it shows a happiness upon usnNo more pickin' sides, one without the other is impossiblen(Uhh, forgot what I was supposed to say)nThey call it bi-polar, unstable conditions, they got me lookin' over my shouldernThe book that I wrote ya', was meant to move the time slowernBut it was spent cookin' my mind's motor, now I'm oldernn[Hook] x 2nn[Verse 2 - Eyedea]nYeah, it was in the cards that I’m to be forever hauntednHip hop is slowly but surely becoming the Big BrothernI never wanted homie to hurt me, purely to micnStill my head is astonished with Sonics and SteticsnPoetics and knowledge and polished rhetoricnEverything has its negativenConscience consciously editnConstantly get rid of the rigorous repetitive movementsnBeen better than you since...nIt's easier to talk to you about it than to do itnHere I am, center of the spotlightnThey all drunk and smilin', waiting for their cockfightnTime to entertain says the clock of lifenSo I became the freaky kid I'm starin' at, even though you know it's not rightnEmbarrassment, it's in between insecurity and arrogancenI'm a machine with a clarity I can barely gripnSo if I seem red in the face, it's not 'cause I feel out of placenIt's just thatnn[Hook] x 2nn[Breakdown x2 - Slug]nAnd I can yell all day, all night, all daynAnd I still doubt that you would hear a word I saynAnd I can drive all night, all day, all nightnBut if you stay with me, you'll never get it rightnn[Verse 3 - Slug]nI was never much for the self-driven skepticismnI was that cat that let distraction affect my visionnYou were the kitten that was screaming tonCover up the sound of landing or crashing, however it was going down,nBut it's goin' down and it's goin' fastnAnd I have no doubts about whether or not it's gonna lastnFill the glass, tilt your head backnLet it trickle through the throat to where you hide your giggles and your laughsnI'll wait to find the correct departure timenShine my eyes to keep the lies from climbin' up inside my mindnSome belong to you, and some belong to me,nBut none of them can escape the contemplation necessarynYou can't scare me, but you can keep it buriednPut your hands on the circle; try to steer menAnd now that I sing all of my songs worth singing,nI'm guessing that it's just a test to see how strong I can bring it.
