Analysis of classic pedigree
Too many one trick ponies in this town, ensemble casts....
a clone of a clone of a clown, turn that shit down.
I am sick of everyone having a swagger,
comparing their ascension to that of Kennedy or Jagger.
Classic pedigree for sale, title and dominion included.
Gently used, only a scratch on its checkered past.
Why would you sell it, you might ask?
The game played me and then I was out.
Looking to a bet or a dare to prove I had clout.
Still this show is cast heavy, those crocodile tears...
Oh mama, mama what did they say when you broke the levee?
Still clones of clones of clowns, off in the distance the baying of hounds
Like I said, turn that shit down.
