The Grouch
Artsy remix
You ain't artsier than me
'Cause you got sideburns and a vintage tee
I said you ain't artsier than me
'Cause you pluck a guitar, that ain't fuckin' bizarre
You ain't artsier than me
'Cause you live in Los Felis
Bitch, you ain't Jesus!
You ain't artsier than me
I got a colorful vocab, watch the low jab

So what, you're a vegan?
It shows in your presence, you be geekin'
And you be seeking the same life
Speakin' the game like the enemy
Hang tight

I got a tail about six-foot-one by infinity
Full of sun, rain, and potential energy
All you saw were the K-Swiss
Clean, crisp, creased jeans means this

So you thought in dip, my walk's hip
Thoughts hipper, unzip the zipper
No, I don't wear hemp or drink liquor
And that don't make me the man, just a little bit sicker

Spit-kicker with an eye for the big dipper
From an island cliff emerges a loud whisper
And I'm proud of this, it's my art
You doin' yoga just to look the part

You ain't artsier than me
'Cause you chop up breaks and you dig in the crates
You ain't artsier than me
You just a trendy lesbian, dreadlocked thespian
You ain't artsier than me
'Cause you make weed brownies and knit wool hats
You ain't artsier than me
You pseudo-elitist old-school sap

Don't let an 808 scare ya
Shake stripes off your shirt and clear the whole area
I'm a humanoid, too
And if you're cool with me, then I'll look past the void in you
Instead of through
I'm down with VWs and flossed-out Caddys on twenty-twos, too
I bang for good fools, kill for nothing
I build for something
Family and peace

Hand me the piece, I'll hit it, I'm social
Hear my opinion, I'm proud, I'm vocal
Local in a foreign place
More digital than dusty, but trust me, I be tourin' space

You be whorin' at a comfortable pace
You be skippin' a chore to jump in the race
I be bumpin' my bass like you collect comics
I'm not weird, I'm honest!

You ain't artsier than me
'Cause you only read books, don't watch TV
You ain't artsier than me
'Cause you shop at Whole Foods in open-toed shoes
You ain't artsier than me
'Cause you speak real soft and drink chai tea
You ain't artsier than me
I recycle too! I'm kinda like you!

I just look cleaner, grown demeanor
Wear deodorant, registered voter
And a tree-hugger too? Not in these clothes
Me love-a-you, but it's gotta be both ways!
Most days, I'm earthy, stay grounded
Often it's a paper chase, I'm well-rounded
Straight to face townish
It's all boundless
I'll make a sound universally dope

Overcome adversity
Reshape the worst of me
Do it for the love and release it commercially
Like a blockbuster started at Sundance
Can't stop, man, you only get one chance

Presentation is key
Hesitation (?)
Innovation is my A-R-T
Dedication is free
Occupation is me
Innovation is my A-R-T

You ain't artsier than me
'Cause you drive a hybrid and carpool with three
You ain't artsier than me
'Cause you a sixteenth Mexican, you ain't ethnic and
You ain't artsier than me
You're just a broke-ass poet with the same old cadence
You ain't artsier than me
We was conscious first!
Welcome to Earth!
