Excuse me if i stutter
cause you know im gonna flutter
im a grown ass man but I still cant help but mutter
to my sister and my brother
I know that you're in my family.
Not to have you in my life would be a tragedy
I am an individual part of a larger me
Like a fish inside a school there's a bigger me than me
This is not a cocky rap this is a rap of modesty
Cause to think we stand alone is a lonely fallacy
I am a hairy parrot talking to my human master
there's a chain wrapped round my leg, made out of steel and plaster
I wish that I could ask her for a cracker or a snack
Or to help me find a place within a larger hairy parrot pack

whell...
two thirty is so lethal if you let it get beneath you
so you better stay on top
no droopy heads no drips no drops
no lazy beds no flips no flops
no hazy meds no sips no cops
im comin at you full throttle like im holdin the bottle
Its time to come up stand up and fight for our damn selves
no more feelin stressed like some corporate cookie elves
we don't wanna sell ourselves
we don't wanna push and shove
we just wanna feel the love
tell me where is that love?
two thirty is so lethal if you let it get beneath you
so you better stay on top
no droopy heads no drips no drops
no lazy beds no flips no flops
no hazy meds no sips no cops
im comin at you full throttle like im holdin the bottle
