lyrics

Intro
Yo, what’s up?
Metaphysics,
With the beat from Ice Ben,
What is a thing?
What is thinghood?
Thinghood is meant, if not in more ways,
Then certainly in four ways most of all.

Verse
Yo, thinghood means more things than it should,
And if I have this understood , you’ll know all I could,
Yo, it’s meant in four ways, if not more ways,
So nod your head and create floor space,
Now it keeps on being in order to be at all,
But thinghood is also the universal,
And the general class, yo, can’t forget that,
Though quickly it seems we’ve been turning our back,
And what underlies these, includes everything,
That’s all that life is, he said it for me,
So, thank you Aristotle, now I can die in peace,
Knowing you can solve my problems so damn easily,
And you said, this is how we define thinghood,
Well that’s how you define it, only you can make it sound good,
Plus, I don’t agree, so don’t speak for me,
See? Huh.

Chorus
You’re always sayin’ that we do it wrong,
But fuck you, this is my song,
So fuck you, this is my song,
So hung up on definitions,
You’re always sayin’ we do it all wrong,
But fuck you, this is my song,
So fuck you, this is my song,
So hung up on definitions.

Bridge
Create some floor space,
Yo, floor space,
Create some floor space,
Come on.

Chorus
You’re always sayin’ that we do it wrong,
But fuck you, this is my song,
So fuck you, this is my song,
So hung up on definitions,
You’re always sayin’ we do it all wrong,
But fuck you, this is my song,
So fuck you, this is my song,
So hung up on definitions.
