Stupidass Lyrics

[Chorus]
If I could go back then (Back then)
If I could go back when (Back when)
And step into the past (Way back)
I'd do it all again (Again)
If I could go back then (Back then)
If I could go back when (Back when)
I was a stupidass (Dumbass)
I'd do it all again (Again)

[Verse 1]
I might have a weak chin, but I don't have a glass jaw
So watch your fist glance off my cheek skin and back off
I cut my teeth on the blacktop, I'm used to something cruel
'Cause in my youth, my tooths were crowded as the public schools
Where we moved above the rules, where the currency was percocets
Where I showed up early rocking headgear and turtlenecks
This nerd'll flex and you won't see this man pout
'Cause the traits that got us beat down are what make us stand out
So let your tongue hang out if you got lips like Mick Jagger
Plant and stand proud with that little kid swagger
The subtle it factor on the baddest individuals
'Cause adamant originals don't end up in pigeonholes

Which gets my thinking it's a damn shame dorks
Don't pop their pimples like they're champagne corks

I work the quirks, 'cause if I didn't start sloppily
I'd never clean up this Goddamn properly

[Chorus]
If I could go back then (Back then)
If I could go back when (Back when)
And step into the past (Way back)
I'd do it all again (Again)
If I could go back then (Back then)
If I could go back when (Back when)
I was a stupidass (Dumbass)
I'd do it all again (Again)

[Verse 3]
Some days I wake up and I wonder, "What would Buddha do?"
And then I jump into my fruity little Subaru
Some dudes'll front, "How do you do, Mama?"
Because some women see the mula, and say "Ooh la-la"
But I say "Woo-sah"
I don't smooch on muchachas who need mucha to mooch off

I'm cool for, like, a futon out in Utah, a yurt up in the Yukon
When hurtin', I'll go back to herding wild yaks in Bhutan
or cop a coupe with coupons
But when you get a FUPA like a dugong
I'll treat you supa dupa, we can't do wrong
'Cause beauty is a dude who puts the moves on, then moves on
We're all moving as true pawns
Get chewed in the food chain
, we're all nude in the new dawn
Brain screwed on with a plain birthday suit on

Let's graduate, human, summa kumbayah, huge honors
So you goners should do the do and do wander the blue yonder
'Cause trying to fool the future takes too long
