You're Fucking No One
Urban Desolation: A Disguised Reality
Lyrics
In 1983 I saw you naked on the street
In 1983, I witnessed you exposed on the street.
Laid out in criminal graffiti
You were displayed amidst criminal graffiti.
So why you now posing so differently to me
Why are you now presenting yourself differently to me, concealing your true identity with the facade of numerous Duane Reade stores?
In disguise of a billion Duane Reades
Covered up as if part of a billion Duane Reade drugstores.
Police taped and caged in
Surrounded by police tape and confined within structures.
Perennial scaffolding
Constant scaffolding reminiscent of a perennial state.
Buildings like prison bars
Buildings resembling prison bars, crafted to appear alluring.
Made to look sexy
Designed to be enticing despite their confining nature.
Million dollar lights
Lights worth a million dollars, symbolic of prosperity.
Products of prosperity
Manifestations of success and affluence.
You're just a concrete mess ripping at the seams
You are just a chaotic assemblage of concrete, tearing apart at the seams.
Hell, I'm still a table-flipper
I still rebel against norms; I'm a disruptor.
I'm throwing punches in the dark
I'm throwing punches metaphorically, challenging conventions.
So keep your stuck-up hoes a-coming
Allow the pretentious individuals to keep coming to this luxurious place.
To this cupcake mahal
Referring to an opulent residence as a "cupcake mahal."
You can make me count your blocks
You can make me calculate your city blocks, but it won't define me.
You can change the way I walk
You can alter my gait, but it won't change who I am.
Change the speed of how I talk
You can control the pace of my speech, but my essence remains unaffected.
But you can't
Despite your attempts, you cannot always provide satisfaction.
Always get me off
(Repetition of line 20)
Hell, I've got a famous fever
I possess a notable passion for defiance.
I love to shout loud in the dark
I love to express loudly in the darkness.
So keep your stuck-up hoes a'coming
Let the arrogant individuals keep coming because I understand their true nature.
Cause I know what you really are
I'm aware of your authentic self; don't try to deceive me.
Shove me out to places far
Force me into distant places, away from the superficial joy.
Away from the amusement park
Away from places akin to amusement parks.
Change your friends all you want
Alter your companions as you wish, but it won't impact me fundamentally.
Cause you can't
(Repetition of line 20)
Always get me off
-You burn me out, you burn me out
You exhaust me, you drain my energy.
You burn me out, you burn me out
(Repetition of line 33)
You burn me out, you burn me out
-You burn me out, you burn me out
-You burn me out
-You burn me out
-You burn me out
-You burn me out
-You burn me out
-You burn me out
-You burn me out
