Braille - Slow to Anger
(from the album Scatter Brain)
© copyright 2005
I hate them all, not because the stores are overpriced
I don’t mind all the people, I observe them live life
The advertisements don’t entice me, I live and let live
But the one thing that always irritates me is this
I’m a married man, sometimes me and my wife wanna chill
Go to a public place and guys start acting ill
Whistling at my girl and making inappropriate comments
For a while I just ignored it, but now it’s more intense
I can’t brush it off ya’ll, where’s the respect
Might not have known we were married, but you could probably
guess
That me and her are together, so why even try fronting
You got a whole entourage and I’m all alone
I’m not violent, but ? stretching the imagination
But still these situations are really testing my patience
At times I fantasize about taking ‘em by surprise
Turn around when they least expect it and sock ‘em in the
eyes
I know reacting like that could put my family in danger
So I abound in love and stay slow to anger
But instead of holding it in, I’d rather talk it out
Let them know I don’t appreciate the words coming from their
mouth
My girl doesn’t deserve being treated like an object
Her self value is more than an attractive piece of flesh
Ya’ll are constant trouble, trying to get ? ? for no
reason
This is why you’re classified as a low life, dirty, rotten
heathen
CHORUS 1:
(Mmm, baby, you in that sweater really fills a gap in my
heart
Oh buddy, really making me mad
I’m gonna mess you up
And I’m the toughest ?, up against, no doubt
I’m gonna mess you up
I got a temper, you better button your lip
I’m gonna mess you up
Oooh! Aaah! I’m sorry, man, I didn’t mean to get so mad
I’m gonna mess you up
“You’re the problem, man”
Hey, you stay out of this, this has nothing to do with
you
This is between me and him
“You’re a punk! I’m gonna do it for you then”
I wanna keep my cool and just express where I’m coming
from
So you could understand why you need to hold your tongue
I don’t want to start a fight and I’m not making threats
But right now I just gotta put you in check
Teart women right, one day you’ll be old and gray
You’ll want someone by your side who’s still willing to
stay
Someone who loves you for you, not for the mask you wear
An everlasting companion who will always be there
That’s what I have and, trust me, your shallowness won’t
take that
Cuz real women have learned not to mess with you fake
cats
Who act tough and make claims you’ll never live up to
Sometimes I wanna stop being nice, grab a knife, and attack
you
Let you know your attitude is unacceptable
For years I just let it go, but I’m done being flexible
If we ever meet again and you start talking smack
I’ma have to talk with you cuz I can’t just sit back
And let you walk over people, try to be intimidating
My anger is righteous and it’s not discriminating
No matter what your race is, no matter what your size is
I’m gonna try and change your mind on being so ignorant
I can’t even rhyme no more, I’m red in the face
Slow to anger, abounding in love
CHORUS 2:
(Has anyone ever told you you’re an amazing? girl)
Oh my goodness, you will not believe the wrath
I’m gonna mess you up
I see a knuckle sandwich in your future
I’m gonna mess you up
Ha ha, so funny I forgot not to hit you
I’m gonna mess you up
Why I oughta rip you to shreds
I’m gonna mess you up
Did you realize that I was crazy
You better hold me back
“Braille Brizzy, you better go get him right now”
It’s over now
“You better go get him”
You annoying me in a terrible way
(It’s okay, bro, just think happy thoughts)
Everybody quiet
“Punk!”
