I wrote this novel just for you
It sounds pretentious but it's true
I wrote this novel just for you

That's why it's vulgar
That's why it's blue
And I say, thank you

And I say, thank you

I wrote this novel just for Mom

For all the mommy things she's done
For all the times she showed me wrong
For all the time she sang god's song

And I say thank you Mom
Hello Mom
Thank you Mom

Hi Mom

I read a book about Uncle Tom

Where a whitey !@$( made a bomb
But now Ebonics rule our song
Those mother$#&@ers got it wrong

And I ask
Who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?

Who is uncle Tom?
You are


I read a book about the self
Said I should get expensive help
Go fix my head

Create some wealth
Put my neurosis on the shelf
But I don't care for myself

I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care


I wrote this novel just for you
I'm so pretentious, yes it's true

I wrote this novel just for you
Just for you
Just for you
