Bad Words

[Verse 1] You know, I think it's hella cool My mom's a librarian at an elementary school I'm proud of her, she taught me how to be And what's awesome is my mom is also proud of me Her greatest compliment was paid When she invited me as speaker to the whole fourth grade She wanted me to kick some spread your wings and fly shit Crushing on some inspiring touch the sky shit What sucks is that before I did Mom couldn't show my videos to any of the kids She realized all my clips had alcohol and opiates And none of them had language that was close to age appropriate So she said, "so be it just come be you today," And that was cool until we got into the Q&A They raised their hands but all the questions that they had Were why I used so many words that were considered bad? [Hook] Bad words The shit's pretty complex But kids, bad words are all about context What the fuck is a bad word? I don't know what's real When you call "fuck" a bad word How you think that makes "fuck" feel? Probably pretty bad [Verse 2] The deal is I think it's a real pity If you use a word to make a person feel shitty Like saying "Arab" to make a Persian feel shitty Not like saying "pussy" when you mean a real kitty Or even saying "pussy" when you're stuck and you're tryna Find a loving way to talk about your wife's vagina "I'll love my wife until the fucking world stops And when it comes to fucking pussy, Dinah's pussy is the tops" See? That shit's positive But when you're cursing Just be careful that you don't objectify a person See, I would tell my mom that she's the motherfucking shit Because she is and 'cause it fits our hippy Bay relationship You see, "shit" just means "poopoo" or "caca" or "doodoo," But we say that it's a nono which I just think is cuckoo Or loco or bullshit Yeah, but it's okay because the fact that words are bad Are what make them fun to say [Hook] Bad words Are just our invention Kids, bad words Are about our intentions What the fuck is a bad word? I don't know what's real When you call "shit" a bad word How you think that makes "shit" feel? Probably shitty
