Yes Sir

Financial instability Not a topic that they rap about Or jealousy, envy me, is a thing I give a crap about Brainstorm, word vomit on the floor of my 400 dollar apartment I'm bored Hunting for a score like the board Not at bars but shoe stores I don't care about the money in my pocket The happiness I keep is what's really fillin' my wallet Or billfold, I been told, tenfold to be responsible And keep your nose warm but chin cold Butt chin grin on an executive face They think I'm joking when I talk 'bout the executive race They say face it, kid You'll be faceless for all eternity, and nameless You're taking up a much slower pace than the greats, kid And if you save face, you might be able to replace them But they ain't gonna wait I don't give a damn They'll be eatin' out the palm of my hand Throw 'em for a loop, Toucan Sam That's the plan, ah man That's the plan, ah man I've been sayin "yes sir, no sir, yes ma'am, no ma'am" But I'm stoppin' that as soon as I can I've been saying "yes sir, no ma'am" Like a good little man Growing up in Shallotte, there's a lot that they don't talk about If anything, there's not much they do talk about A lot of learning's gotta happen on your own but that happens in any home So I don't know what I'm all on about My consciousness is wandering, what's this song about? Is this a song or just a process for my problems now? This latest therapy session, starring Dylan and his favorite character Who's apparently got him second guessing Second guessing 'bout the seconds that he's guest to But not about the blessings that he gets to get to The test tube, where I check my next bet, and if I cash in I'll live my rest as life's best dude That's what I wanna be, but wanna's not enough Feel like I've got everything but still feel like I'ma throw up Persevering's kinda tough With no stomach, no guts Gotta grow up, grow some nuts Be the man you thought I was I've been sayin "yes sir, no sir, yes ma'am, no ma'am" But I'm stoppin' that as soon as I can I've been saying "yes sir, no ma'am" Like a good little man I've been saying Yes Sir (YES SIR!) No Sir (NO SIR!) Yes Ma'am (YES MA'AM!) No Ma'am (NO MA'AM!) Yes Sir (YES SIR!) No Sir (NO SIR!) Yes Ma'am (YES MA'AM!) No Ma'am (NO MA'AM!) I've been saying Yes Sir No Sir Yes Ma'am No Ma'am I've been saying all of that It's time for them to say it back
