Lyrics

I grew up as your usual suburbanite A tiny town in Massachusetts is overwhelmingly white I went to church on Sundays in a suit and a tie Then spent my free time watching Family Guy I started doing comedy when I was just a sheltered kid I wrote offensive shit, and I said it Father, please forgive me, for I did not realize what I did Or that I'd live to regret it Times are changing and I'm getting old Are you gonna hold me accountable? My bed is empty and I'm getting cold Isn't anybody gonna hold me accountable? Uh I'm problematic (He's a problem) When I was 17, on Halloween I dressed up as Aladdin (He's a problem) I did not darken my skin, but still, it feels weird in hindsight I wanna show you how I'm growing as a person, but first I feel I must address the lyrics from the previous verse I tried to hide behind my childhood, and that's not okay My actions are my own, I won't explain them away I've done a lot of self-reflecting since I started singing this song I was totally wrong when I said it Father, please forgive me, for I did not realize what I did Or that I'd live to regret it Times are changing and I'm getting old Are you gonna hold me accountable? My bed is empty and I'm getting cold Isn't anybody gonna hold me accountable? Uh I'm problematic (He's a problem) I just remembered that Aladdin costume's In my mother's attic (He's a problem) I'm gonna go home and burn it Or not burn it, is burning it bad? What should I do with it? And I've been totally awful My closet is chock-full of stuff that is vaguely shitty All of it was perfectly lawful Just not very thoughtful at all and just really shitty And I've been totally awful My closet is chock-full of stuff that is vaguely shitty All of it was perfectly lawful Just not very thoughtful at all and just really And I'm really fucking sorry Bitch, I'm tryna listen Shit, I've been complicit Sorry If I'm gonna catch up First, I gotta fess up Sorry Sorry
