[Verse 1]
Damn
[Verse 2]
I ordered something, it took a while
This morning something was on my doorstep
What's this I'm holding? Time capsule order
'Cause I'm a brand new man, and I don't think I want it
I don't think I want it
A row of flags hangin' behind me
A garden of mics and questions, and photo-flashes blind me
And I'm so high, I can't recall my statements
I only know I made 'em because my face vibrated
[Verse 3]
Is it all in my mind? I could've sworn I saw it
I thought I was fine, just fine is what I call it
[Verse 4]
Oh-oh, if you're feeling small
And you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall
Oh-oh, if you're feeling small
And you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall
[Verse 5]
I was gruntled when it was just feet on gravel
To have come apart, I must have once been raveled
Now when pretty phrases don't mean nothing
And I wanna sell 'em, I sing the line again
So smooth you can hear the beard
So smooth you can hear the beard
Three times is poetry
So smooth you can hear the beard
[Verse 6]
Oh-oh, if you're feeling small
And you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall
Oh-oh, if you're feeling small
And you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall
If you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall
[Verse 7]
And if you can't draw a crowd, settle for what you can draw
[Verse 8]
I'm just saying
I-I-I-I'm just saying
Why does saying, that "I'm just saying"
Lend any weight to what I'm saying?
Oh, it's come back again, I can't ignore it
I'm a brand new man, but I'm still payin' for it
[Verse 9]
Oh-oh, if you're feeling small
And you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall
Oh-oh, if you're feeling small
And you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall
If you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall
If you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall
[Verse 10]
And if you can't draw a crowd, settle for what you can draw
[Verse 11]
I only wanted to be Stevie Wonder
But I got to settle for this vanilla thunder (If you can't draw a crowd)
Oh, this vanilla thunder (If you can't draw a crowd)
Oh, this vanilla thunder (If you can't draw a crowd)
Taste my vanilla thunder (If you can't draw a crowd)
(If you're feeling small)
