I wrote this novel just for you

It sounds pretentious but it's true

I wrote this novel just for you

That's why it's vulgar

That's why it's blue

And I say, thank you

And I say, thank you

I wrote this novel just for mom

For all the mommy things she's done

For all the times she showed me wrong

For all the time she sang god's song

And I say thank you mom

Hello mom

Thank you mom

Hi mom

I read a book about uncle tom

Where a whitey bastard made a bomb

But now ebonics rule our song

Those motherfuckers got it wrong

And I ask

Who is uncle tom?

Who is uncle tom?

Who is uncle tom?

You are

I read a book about the self

Said I should get expensive help

Go fix my head

Create some wealth

Put my neurosis on the shelf

But I don't care for myself

I don't care for myself

I don't care for myself

I don't care

I wrote this novel just for you

I'm so pretentious, yes it's true

I wrote this novel just for you

Just for you

Just for you
