Eeeeeverybody thought they could handle it. scoffs Remember those teenage dreams, the ones where you' re out partying and heavy drinking with friends? I mean, we all wanted to be "cool" right? Look at y' all ***** now. You got a license to sip but surprise...I' m spicy as **** But nevermind me just over here sittin' brown and pretty. Who would' ve thought it' ll be me to leave 'em down in pity? It' s a funny thing really... They taste just an itty-bitty and just like that... their minds change really quickly. THE BAR ISN' T FOR YOU BLUFFING BOZOS!! Pretentious patronizing peacocks. Posing like you' re prepared to partake in these shots. THESE SHOTS ??! Oh baby... I may be cool to the touch but I go down real hot. They call me Whiskey! I' m nothing from your teapot. I guess that' s why they treat me like I' m toxin. But how can you blame me?? 'Cause I can cut through your ******** and I just happen to be as strong as an oxen? You want water...drink water. You have that option. But nooo... you insist on trying to water me down to make some new concoction. BUT I' M MR.WHISKEY BABY AND I DON' T NEED NO **** INTRODUCTION! Why would I? When you can just get to know me. How you gon' claim you family when you ain' even tried to be the homie? Let me take you to the School of Hard Knocks. Free enrolling. See, we work on standing tall while you work on your pretty posing. For all the ******** we bulldozin'. No pulpits but toolkits for what' s broken. Broken news for the snakes in the grass... we lawn mowin'. See, there' s included and there' s Chosen. Having a lot to say doesn' t mean you' re outspoken. Yet, it is so quiet in this lane... you can hear the pins drop. Let' s get to bowling. Spare me all those fairy...tales of being treated fairly. You barely flex that muscle yourself... must not lift heavy. You' re scary. Too afraid to leave that zone of comfort and be daring. You feel the walls nearing, closing in on ya'. So tight, they touch your earrings. Let' s raise our glasses. Here' s to pretending. Pretending to uphold the truth hoping no one notices the bending. Here' s to our roots. Pointless traditions with no signs of ending. To those tiff-splitting relationships that' ll take too much time mending. And last but certainly not least, to our prides that we hold onto like a prize, may you stay strong and may you stay defending. Salute.
