I may not come across as the humblest dude
because I’m not trying to hear it when I’m not in the mood
it don’t mean I’m not free to a discussion or two
but a heated argument’s something I really don’t do
but people chuck it
but sometimes I wanna say **** it
who the heck you talking to?
I ain’t a puppet
but I keep my cool, so calm, composed
cos a man quick to anger ever hardly grows
yo it’s like a test and they willing a man
to go straight up loops end up killing a man
no doubt, but then you got to handle regret
and that’s much more harder than forgive and forget
and it makes it no easier to keep the peace
when you ain’t no Buddhist and you ain’t no Priest
and you ain’t no Monk and you ain’t no Nun
and you ain’t no Punk so you ain’t gone run
and you got your pride so you ain’t gone hide
even if it means you ride doing twenty inside?
I think not, that makes no sense
I’m not saying to be cowardly and sit on the fence
just stay smart and know who you are from the start
and remember that decorum is a valuable art
so when I see a situation that I have to dismiss
I walk away and I whistle like this…

Now my big Bro used to bite his lip
my Teacher said it was sign he was about to flip
but he chose it as a method just to calm him down
cos otherwise it’s “good grief” like Charlie Brown
so she said I need to try it when I get upset
cos I wasn’t that impartial just to break your neck
but I had to learn to quick how to just diffuse
just because you can’t win doesn’t mean you lose
so it’s now much easier to walk away
so I do it even if I got more to say
cos I really had to grow to be a prudent man
and disregard what a teenage student can’t
and I’m questing, it’s like a love
movement man
so you can have this as your victory

cos I won’t let you antagonize
see anyone can let loose but I don’t advertise
so let me stop you
forgive me please, if I have to turn about one eighty degrees
and put my left foot in front my right foot repeatedly
and for my sanity that’s the way it need to be
and I know who I am from the start
I remembered that decorum is a valuable art
so when I see a situation that I have to dismiss
I walk away and I whistle …like this
