[Start – Low Barbershop Hum] [Young Voice] Before we begin— I’m a nice person. [Old Voice] Nobody asked. [Young Voice] That needs to be established for legal and artistic reasons. [Beat Drops] [Verse 1 – Young Voice] I’m naturally agreeable, pleasant, mostly still, I don’t chase confrontation— barely chase a dollar bill. I like snacks within my radius, pants without a belt, Mind my little business like the hand that I was dealt. I forgive an interruption, I can overlook a tone, You can have your wrong opinion— just have that shit at home. I’m a peaceful man by nature, I prefer the easy route— But do me wrong on purpose? You gon’ bring the worker out. [Old Voices] The what? [Pre-Chorus – Stacked Harmony] I don’t want no trouble. (I don’t.) I don’t want no war. (No war.) I don’t even like getting up to lock the door. But betrayal is espresso. Disrespect can make me move. [Old Voice] That is not a healthy metaphor. [Young Voice] Still true. [Chorus] Don’t make me get motivated! I was perfectly content! Now I’m up before the sunrise with malicious intent! Don’t make me get motivated! We could both have carried on! Do me right— nothing happens. Do me wrong— your peace is gone. I am kind. I am calm. I am lazy as fuck. But if you screw me over— [All – Reluctantly] We gon’ fuck you up! [Old Voice] Figuratively. [Young Voice] We’ll discuss that later. [Verse 2 – Younger Voices Trading] [Young Voice 2] I could tolerate a rumor. I might let a small lie slide. But you stole, smiled, then denied it while the proof stood at your side. Now I’m checking every timestamp, calling everybody back, Built a color-coded timeline— [Old Voice] Why you never work like that? [Young Voice 2] Spite provides a focus that employment never could. I have found my hidden talents. [Old Voice] Use ’em somewhere good! [Young Voice 3] I’ll remember every promise, every witness, every date, I will dedicate my leisure to correcting your mistake. No fatigue and no distraction, no “I’ll finish it next week.” I become extremely driven when revenge is what I seek. [Old Voice] Say “justice.” [Young Voice 3] Justice. [Old Voice] Good. [Young Voice 3] With revenge underneath. [All] Boy— [Chorus] Don’t make me get motivated! I was perfectly content! Now I’m taking notes at breakfast and resenting you by ten! Don’t make me get motivated! We could both have carried on! Do me right— nothing happens. Do me wrong— your peace is gone. I am kind. I am calm. I am lazy as fuck. But if you screw me over— [All – More Reluctantly] We gon’ fuck you up! [Old Voice] In reputation! [Young Voice] Among other available dimensions. [Verse 3 – Beat Gets Darker] [Young Voice] I won’t sleep till every shortcut that you took becomes a tour. Every bridge you burned behind you, I’ll put signage at the door. I’ll be patient. I’ll be thorough. I’ll make calendars align. You’ll discover I have follow-through for the very first damn time. I won’t threaten. I’ll just mention what the documents reveal. Let your own decisions chase you with their little muddy heels. I’ll outlast your explanations. I’ll be cheerful when they fail. I’ll bring snacks to every hearing— [Old Voice] Are we talking court or jail? [Young Voice] Neither, necessarily. Could be brunch. [Old Voice] Brunch? [Young Voice] I want him nervous everywhere. [Bridge – Beat Pulls Back] [Old Voice] Son, revenge will eat the plate and then complain it wasn’t fed. You can’t build a peaceful future living rent-free in their head. [Young Voice] I hear you. I respect you. I receive the wisdom shared. But if somebody does me dirty— [Old Voice] Walk away. [Young Voice] After they have been made aware. [Old Voice] Made aware how? [Young Voice] Consequences. [Old Voice] Legal ones? [Young Voice] You ask a lot of questions for a man singing bass behind me. [Final Chorus – Full Ensemble] Don’t make us get motivated! We were perfectly content! Had our feet up, chord clean, not a single grudge to vent! Don’t make us get motivated! We could all just get along! Do us right— nothing happens. Do us wrong— [Old Voices] Something proportionate and legally defensible happens! [Young Voices] Your peace is gone! We are kind! We are calm! We don’t bother nobody! But if you screw us over— [All – Massive Harmony] YOU GON’ WAKE THE WHOLE LOBBY! [Young Voice] That ain’t the line. [Old Voice] That is the line we are willing to record. [Outro – Voices Overlapping] [Young Voice] I’m just saying— leave me alone, and nothing bad happens. [Old Voice] That sounds worse every time. [Another Voice] Who gave him the group password? [Young Voice] Already changed it. [All] WHAT?! [Young Voice] Look at me. Motivated. ([Old Voice] BOY!!) [Final Chord] [End]
