Absent Minded

Jealousy

Your jealous of me
Drama Queen
I might have crabs
but I'm still a human being
I'm not scratching
I'm not itchy
but you know as you keep on dissin
as you keep on pushing
and the room gets smaller
I'm getting nervous and dizzy
and soon i will have to come to see
with all your anger and hurt and spite
and snide comments you leave

It's true
the only reason you wont tell me the time when i ask
It's true
the only reason
you never keep six
of who sayin what behind my back
It's true the only person here to blame is you
You re jealous of me
and I'm jealous of you

It all started by what you could do and had that i couldn't and didn't
the have not of the what you had
and the tables turned and now you see the reverse side
of what was the matter of me
and the methods of my madness
of full well knowing
what comes around goes around
to beat the dead horse into the ground
so keep it up honey
call me another somebody or nothing
I've done the math and i clearly see what you don't
Your jealous of me
and i don't care if i don't get your popularity vote

Maybe I'm better looking or more talented
maybe i kiss you off
or rub you wrong
or you fear what you don't understand
maybe i ramble on too long for what you care to comprehend
of the fact of the matter is
what is at hand
of who has what and who didn't have
and now you're jealous of me
my inner strengths and gifts
you're jealous of me
and my creative ability and selfish ways in which i choose to be selfless
you're jealous of me for being jealous of you
but either way we tame this beast together
or I'm unleashing the chains
and letting this demon consume you
for i have it beat

Is it the way to go
just walk away and say
hey there have fun anyway
but I've had my fill
and wont listen anyway
I'll just pop my pills
and go away like you wanted
so go ahead and get your cheap thrills
laugh at me
make me the butt end of the joke of the future
the life lesson of the fairytale of the gods
and the arts of war
and the prophets of those who were smarter and those who were stupider
unscramble the messages locked deep inside your brain
put away your animosity
disgust
pride aside
and forget about the blame of why your ashamed

its jealousy my friend
your jealous of me and its OK
i mean who wouldn't be
i have nothing at all
and you have everything
so go on
go ahead
walk away and leave me here
taming my inner rage and demons of desire
and lets not mention the burning flames of hell growing higher and higher
Its jealousy my enemy
the only reason you kill across the land and seas
you blame it on desperation and mutiny
but it is I who truly sees
it all goes back to the beginning
of when they had a lot and you had nothing
the wars of jealous fathers and sons
and wretched daughters trying to make peace
and hushing inner demons of jealousy

So now you're jealous of my insights
and you have every right
you're jealous of my image
and the way i exaggerate and express what i hold dear inside
you're jealous you have it all
because you want nothing
but the tables can turn my friend
jealousy has taught me that
and in time I'll be jealous that you have what i have
and the fires will burn a different hand
and the stakes will drive across another land of deceit
treachery
all due to jealousy
over the wars of you and me
and pleasantries and sin
no one knows anything anymore
about the nots and have nots and the have it alls
and how to acclaim fame
and jealousy and wars
that's what I'm writing for
to spoil it all

so go on put down your sharpened sword
and be jealous i have the better what for
