[Intro] There’s no sense in nonsense language to incense common sense, But here’s my 2 cents. (Git on!) [Verse 1] It says sanction means you’re good to go, Unless it means you’re banned, y’know? If you’re left, you’ve gone, but also stayed, And somehow both make sense today. To cleave means split, but also bind, So which is it? Decide, or nevermind. You oversight things when you supervise, But oversight also means you close your eyes. (Yee-haw!) To dust a thing is to take it away, Unless you’re adding dust today. A bolt can fasten nice and tight, Or disappear like a flash of light. When you clip a thing, you cut it off, Or attach it neatly. Go ahead. Laugh. (Hey now!) [Hook] Say what you mean, then mean something else, Then say what you said and confuse yourself. (Hup!) [Verse 2] You raise your voice while you lower your tone, And wonder which one means “leave me alone.” You screen a scene so it can be seen, Or screen it out like it’s too obscene. You strike for peace with signs held high, Or strike with force as fists fly by. When you trip, you fall and miss the beat, But on a trip, you leave your seat. (Whoa there!) You can rock a boat or rock a stage, Then throw a rock in either case. You temper metal to make it strong, But a temper tantrum proves it’s wrong. A bound can trap or let you go, So are we free? No one knows. (Git on!) [Hook] Say what you mean, then mean something else, Then say what you said and confuse yourself. (Lordy, lordy!) [Verse 3] You start at the end just to end at the start, Then wonder why English thinks that’s smart. You permit the act while you ban the intent, Then argue it’s fine if the spelling's bent. You weather a storm while the weather attacks, Then storm out mad at your syntax cracks. You fine someone when they do what's wrong, But say they look fine all day long. You sink a shot just to float the score, Then float the rules you sink before. You hold your tongue so your thoughts don’t slip, Then slip in a pun while you hold your grip. You drop a line that was meant to rise, Then raise a brow as English dies. (Hot damn!) [Hook] Say what you mean, then mean something else, Then say what you said and confuse yourself. (Whoo-ee!) [Outro] If English made sense, I wouldn’t even make this rap, But I’m trapped in a flap with a snapback cap, Trying to unwrap how to wrap up this rap (One more time!) Nah! (Yee-Haw!)
