Someone Should Smack Your Mom
Next Level Shocked
My face unlocked a new expression
When that sludge fell from your lips
I held my tongue in retrospection
Trying my best, to get a grip
If I were to speak, I fear regression
And you could really give a rip
For you, your words, are self expression
And so my mouth, I will keep zipped
