I live my life like
rock, paper, scissors, shoot
**** I got both hands on the steel
double ******* like a monkey
gripping two banana peels
I'ma land urchin lurking
the muk, thorns up
Demeanor screaming like
a tea kettle's whistle that's stuck
Or dynamite hissing through
a canyon's sawbuck*
Mastered peasantry so
when I overthrow the kingdom
I can bring the real family with me
Sawbuck: A sawbuck is a device for holding wood so that it may be cut into pieces. Here I'm using it as a metaphor for mouth or jaw.
