Mona Lisa

The world is spinning at the speed of sound
Maybe faster, I don't get around much
Never went to university
Never lived in a big city but
Does that make me dumb?
Just a country bumpkin?
Did I write this rhyme
Knowing that it didn't make any sense? Did I…?

I guess you think you know what I should do
But baby I done killed the kid you thought you knew
The truth is that some truth to say
Didn't hop on a jet to come and play
Get your story straight
Cause I don't fuck with second rate
So get the whiskey out
And I'll write a couple lines for the kids to talk about

But I will make amends
I'll rush it, I'll floor it, I'm in this till the end

Mona Lisa I got a ways to go
Mona Lisa And I don't know no, no
Mona Lisa You heard it here first
Mona Lisa Working on my Mona Lisa

I'm sitting in a room in Tokyo
I'm writing songs like I got yen to blow yet
The truth is that I got a skill to sell
But no ones ringing the bell, what?
I got bills to pay
I ain't gettin' laid, ugh
No this shit ain't free
Probably got another couple of pits ahead of me

My mama told to be a good boy
My daddy told me not to be nobody's toy
It's gonna be my name on that CD
You can bet I'm gonna look pretty.
Sorry 'bout it now
But I ain't sorry at all
So get the vodka out
And I'll write a couple lines for the kids to talk about

But I will make amends
I'll rush it, I'll floor it, I'm in this till the end

Mona Lisa I got a ways to go
Mona Lisa And I don't know no, no
Mona Lisa You heard it here first
Mona Lisa Working on my Mona Lisa

By now you know I talk a lot of shit
I guess I'm petty maybe just a little bit
I bet you been the same a time or two
Maybe threw a punch for trying you

But I will make amends
I'll rush it, I'll floor it, I'm in this til the end

Mona Lisa I got a ways to go
Mona Lisa And I don't know no, no
Mona Lisa You heard it here first
Mona Lisa Working on my Mona Lisa
