Without me here this place is screwed
Y'all don't know half the shit I do
You shoulda understood from the get go
I oughta be runnin' this shithole
P.s, I pissed in the coffee pot
Took a big dump in the parking lot
Hid a dildo in the drawer
Kiss my ass
I'm out the door

I'm off to chase my dreams
Crush more pussy than you've ever seen
I guess what I really mean is

– You are so gonna get fired when I actually do it.
– Well, not for sure, but I can dream.
