I Am Arrogant (6/28/06)

It seems that Mr. Ghostman has a problem with my confidence
He called me “trifle idiot” and thought that would be stopping it
But I simply won’t be dropping it cause this is who I tend to be
You have to know you’re better if you wish to win successfully
So everything you said to me is simply like a broken record
You’re acting like a hard ass, but I love feeling this pressured
If you took the tape and measured, you’d see the one who’s smiling
You’re the one all pissed off and I’m the one that’s styling
But what made you get so violent? Why the petty name calling?
Is that all you really have, boy? Nothing but the same stalling?
It’s always been the same story, attacks against my character
That only serve to charge me and give me that much stamina

Let’s take a second now to examine the whole story
Mr. Ghostman likes to troll and I found it to get boring
So with arrogance up soaring, I called these people on it
But apparently I’m dickish for being so damn honest
And I should feel admonished for not bowing to the pressure
Yeah, you can laugh here with me cause they couldn’t know me lesser
I will go to only measure to defend what I believe in
And there’s still no bullet holes, nothing, I’m not bleeding
But damn I love this feeling, Senor Ghostman got all serious
Like a mute guy under water, though, I don’t think I’ll be hearing it
You scribbled a whole diatribe to which I didn’t read
You wasted all that time, all that time on little me

So, do you see my point, boy? Are you getting this transmission?
All the others know about me and they know of my position
I’ll never back away from an argument or battle
Hell, even face to face, you’d be rowing with no paddle
Cause this is how I am, this is me all through and through
A prick who has some confidence to do what he must do
You think I would be shot for simply being somewhat confident?
Well, actually this attitude is what got me my respect

Notes: So, who is Mr. Ghostman? Let’s spin the record and see where the needle stops.
