Welcome to the Show

Heartbeat's throwing off my rhythm Like a drum machine bumping out of time But I'm vibrating like the sound system So that must mean that I'm doing fine I told everyone I had a show to give 'em Come on if you're feeling so inclined I told everybody bring a friend with 'em But if everybody did I'd lose my mind Cause I don't wanna be here but it's good for my health And I want a career like I want nothing else So I gotta power through Do shit I don't wanna do I've been a stubborn-ass baby since September the twelfth But I can't let you know that I got nothing to say It's the same shit in the same toilet, different day So I wrote you a story 'bout a man that I'll portray Because fuck the truth, the movie's always better anyway Yo Welcome to the show Here's something you oughta know about a dude like me I'm a bit shy But I'm not a shit guy Quiet cause I'm reminding myself to breathe Lead a boring life No conflict, no strife So I got a guise more interesting Like an actor An important factor End of this track I'll no longer be Reed Don't wanna sound like an ass Not a social butterfly I'm like a worm in the grass I hope that everybody who showed up has a blast But it'd be a total lie to say I want it to last So I hide behind a mask, or at least a costume Something real bad ass Don't ask what it cost, dude Some people spit facts I'll spit plotlines and cues If you came to see my ass you can mind your P's and Q's I know it's polite to stay and see the whole show But I'd like to go home and see my bong But my dream is way far out of my comfort zone And I've been stocking veggies far too long And I'm nervous as shit but there's one thing you can bet I've been working like a bitch and I've been breaking a sweat So you're either 'bout to see the best you've seen of me yet Or you're 'bout to see the reason my name rhymes with regret Reed Stepp Yo Welcome to the show Here's something you oughta know about a dude like me I'm a bit shy But I'm not a shit guy Quiet cause I'm reminding myself to breathe Lead a boring life No conflict, no strife So I got a guise more interesting Like an actor An important factor End of this track Now I'm no longer Reed
