Vanilla Dope
Vanilla Dope, involved in yet another successful project
Who keeps hiring your boring vanilla ass, I certainly didn't want it
You are involved in so many different things but it's really different shades of the same
You're always your same old boring self in all of them, you are always so lame
Showcasing all of your tattoos at home like you have this other side under the work suit
Throwing your musical street cred out there when you hosted that music show in your youth
You are always talking about the celebrities you met and that you dated pretty actresses
But so many of them were alcoholics and drug addicts and acted like asses
Vanilla Dope, still successful after all of these years but I don't understand why?
It only makes sense because you are safe and everything today is so PC and homogenized
But you were not interesting then and you certainly aren't interesting now
You are a Vanilla Dope and that is two steps lower than a bad circus clown
Vanilla Dope, you being interesting a fun to watch, there is just no hope
You are just a placeholder, no one will even remember you, you Vanilla Dope
You would be easily forgotten, if you every happened to go away
But people remember you because you are in their faces everyday
Why did Hollywood actresses date you, it was because they were just to dumb to know
But eventually they dumped you, when they realized you were just a Vanilla Dope
You are now married with kids and your wife is gettting annoyed with everything you do
Because she sees you on television and at home there is just no escaping you
Vanilla Dope, being successful does not mean that you are also great
Vanilla Dope, you are not as versatile as you think you are, you are always the same
Vanilla Dope, you are not cool, you are just very lame
Vanilla Dope, you have had more success than you ever deserved, so please just go away
