Celebrity Reduction Prayer

[Produced by: Oddisee] [Intro] La-la-la-la-la I know I invited you, I still want you to leave now This is a whole long thing just telling you to leave my mind, leave [Verse 1: Open Mike Eagle] I woke up down in this dungeon I've made mistakes in my judgments I've built you up in my head this is my prayer for your reduction You're not my aunt, uncle or cousin Not your nephew or your husband You think just 'cause you buzzin' you got licence but you doesn't I hugged you like a glo-worm, come down now cause it's your turn I ain't got nothing but time I like that long haul to that slow burn I did too much of my homework Killed my confidence with this research I've put people on pedestals ego's reaction is knee-jerk I'm trying to work on my weakness It's not all roses and peaches, it's no secret I've found myself in a funk for a whole weekend Over email failures and DMs "Did they get that shit? Should I re-send?" What should I do when I see them? Talk all soft and passive like Cleveland Even wise men can go mindless Voluntarily rocking them blinders It generates all this shyness calling some other human your highness They forgot about when they punched clocks With Capri Suns in their lunchbox Bad haircut with them sunspots Drank fruit punch and wore dumb socks, yeah! [Hook] You're not my moms, you're not my father Not my food, you're not my water Not your earth, get out my lava What the fuck is my problem? It's a prayer for the American religion Get out my food, you're not my java Not my nurse, you're not my doctor Not my priest, you're not my lama What the fuck is my problem? It's a prayer for the American religion [Verse 2] It's not worth my attention Let alone all of these mentions This first time is a warning, the next move is suspension Got my own lapses in thinking, my processes were stinking You're not Gandhi, you're not Yoda, you're not President Linking Give a fuck if you was Oprah, Wolf Blitzer, or Al Roker If you try to put yourself over I'll laugh at you like The Joker This Hellfyre's my culture, put magic all in these cold words I'm you as the slogan putting up mirrors instead of these posters Watch me smash all of these idols got my own heavyweight title There's no upper tier, we're all peers unless y'all want to be rivals Talent's just a foundation rapped in festivals and in basements If I ever lost my head I got good friends to replace it Gives a fuck if you're on TV, you still poop and you still pee-pee You sat down and got started not knowing there wasn't no TP You got up then and you waddled That shit might happen tomorrow Whether you're a ball player, a stage actor, or international model I don't care, neither should no one, I'll say that shit to Hulk Hogan Obama down to Joe Rogan Head of the studio that made Frozen My brain's variable tape speed, SubGenius or hayseed Try waving your resume, all the sudden I can't read, yeah! [Bridge] Get your name, fame can make you evil And that's the shame cause we done lost so many people It gets ingrained we start behaving like a sheep do This song is a prayer when you should aim it where you need to When you say it they believe you This is a prayer and you should aim it where you need to [Hook]
