You can say that I'm one curly fry in the box of the regular
Messing with the flavor oh the flavor that you savor
Saving me for last but you better not eat me at all
Living in a fast food bag making friends with the ketchup and salt
People say that I'm crazy for not moving on to better things
Instead I'm sitting around trash talking with the onion ring
But it's much too soon to leave this easy life
Pass me the spoon, pass the analytical knife
'Cause you're about to get cut up and get cut down
It's all about the wordplay, all about the sound in the tone of my voice
You gotta let me make my choice alone, before my food gets cold
Better shut up or get shot down
It's all about the know-how, all just a matter of taste
Stop telling me the way I gotta play now, too much food on my plate
Well believe it or not I super sized my sights on the surprise in the cereal box
My stomachs smaller than my eyes so I went to see the doctor
And he said, "Turn my head and then cough"
I didn't listen to what he said instead I couldn't wait to get off
He said I can have this but I can't have that
I should keep wishing I was living the life of a cat but uh
I ain't the one whose gonna be missing the feast
Just like you ain't the one who seems to be calming the beast
Now you're about to get cut up and get cut down
It's all about the wordplay, all about the sound in the tone of my voice
You gotta let me make my choice alone before my food gets cold
Better shut up or get shot down
It's all about the know-how, all just a matter of taste
Stop telling me the way that I gotta play, you're puttin' too much food on my plate, come on
Well, if you are what you eat, in my case, I'll be sweet, so come and get some
I'm so oh oh over it
'Cause you're about to get cut up and get cut down
It's all about the know-how, all just a matter of taste
Stop telling me the way that I gotta play, you put too much food on my plate, come on
Get up to get get it and get down
Get up to get get it and get down
Get up to get get it and up
Well, come on and get up, get up get up, well come on
Get up to get get it and get some
Get up to get get it and get some
Get up to get get it and get some
There's too much food on my plate, come on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, da
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Ya-da-da-da
