Before everything was so simple 1+1=2
Now-A-Days things have changed, feelings got misconstrued for that four letter L word
Emotions changed quicker than a chameleon on a purple leaf
Happy to sad, mad to glad, it’s all synonymous with I hate you so much
They say more fish in the sea, but BP messed that up
I’ll have to fish in lakes now, just my luck another Dolemite how cliché
I bet he hit you too just like his last girl
Funny how now you want Stephan, but later you want Urkel?
I focus on myself now that’s what I’ve been introduced too, because all these females are Agent Smith
Tired of this homogeneity I still got love for you’ll but I’m done with you’ll, I need variation
Go ahead and ostracize me, because I understand how I’m about to get the same treatment as Cryus in Jungle Fever 
Oh well, glee is what inspires my heart, but in this Rubik’s cube of a world looks like I’ll have to keep It preserved
