Steven

[Intro]

I don’t get mad,
I get even.

Therapist quit halfway through the meetin’.

Fell in love with a girl from Thailand...
Turns out her real name was Steven.


[Verse 1]

Once a kid enters my basement,
he ain’t leavin’.

Gotta feed the children in the basement,
they still screamin’.

One asked,
“when can we go home?”

I said,
“brother...
stop dreamin’.”


[Chorus]

I don’t get mad,
I get even.

Planes in the sky,
whole world is leaning.

Everybody eventually
leaves bleeding.

Me and Steven
are still somehow speaking.


[Verse 2]

The planes headed for the towers
ain’t steering.

The planes inside the towers
ain’t leaving.

Both towers leaning—

CNN outside
live-streaming.


[Hook]

I don’t get mad,
I get even.

Violence is something
I believe in.

Cops on my back,
yeah they stopped me from breathing.

My probation officer
started drinkin’.

A person with no taste buds
is called a vegan.


[Verse 3]

You’ll find a body in the freezer...

But the door won’t close
‘cause I couldn’t get the knees in.

Had to rotate the torso
by the evening.

Now the whole damn kitchen
is leaking.


[Chorus]

I don’t get mad,
I get even.

Planes in the sky,
whole world is leaning.

Everybody eventually
leaves bleeding.

Me and Steven
are still somehow speaking.


[Bridge]

I don’t get mad,
I get even.

The neighbors hear
the basement children screaming.

Landlord asked
what all the yelling was about
this evening.

I said:
“Xbox lobby.”

He nodded and said,
“yeah...
sounds about right to me then.”


[Outro]

Me and Steven
are still somehow speaking.

Steven asked if I’d move out
to Thailand this weekend.

I asked,
“how big the basement?”

He said,
“brother...
big enough to teach the children Korean.”

Honestly...

that’s the healthiest relationship
I’ve ever been in.
