like it because it also forces me to
write you know so that’s that’s the good
thing about it so I I just keep riding
man I keep coming up with new stuff and
talking about me my mom’s Filipino
that’s what I am by the way so you guys
who don’t have to keep looking at me
weird it’s like I don’t know if I should
laugh or figure out what the hell this
is my mom got a ton of material for me
so I just keep riding off of her my mom
takes whatever word she knows and throws
an at you he was like get the fuck out

difference baby no baby no one taught

yeah yeah exactly I’m gonna go throw a
ball up against the wall I get my kid

days early
just leave he’s broken
he’s definitely broken you ever get to
that point where it’s sort of like you
got to let him know maybe there’s some
boundary c7 he sort of gets it but
there’s some times where he’s trying to
drop jokes and you’re like yeah he knows
not to say the bad words but he he does
my jokes man non-stop so I don’t mind
it’s he’s gonna say it eventually he’s
gonna curse eventually so I don’t really
uh edit myself my mom always told me
when I was a kid she goes as long as
you’re not cursing at me you’re you’re
free to go mother your pussy the talk
