AND NO ONE’S GONNA KEEP ME DOWN

OKAY, IT’S CLEAR I’M THE TOP OF THIS CLASS

KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN, AND THINGS WILL LOOK UP

HE’LL ROB A 7-ELEVEN AND GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL
MAYBE STEAL HUBCAPS, MAYBE STEAL BOOZE?
EXPRESSING HIMSELF WITH HIS HOMEMADE TATTOOS!

SOCCER MOM, MINIVAN
FOUR LITTLE BRATS, NO STEADY MAN
DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER ORGAN DONOR?

Maybe that was a little harsh. Love you!

Oh?
POKEMON, SPIDERMAN
THIS KID DOESN'T HAVE AN ATTENTION SPAN
AND WHAT’S HE GONNA DO, SOLVE A RUBIK’S CUBE?

How long's he got if we feed him through a tube?

A little more of me!
