Mad Child)
Man, I don't believe I have to go through all of this again
I gave you your position
(Prevail)
What? I thought we were friends
I didn't ask at all for your short temper and demanding
It's my energy on stage that makes our show so outstanding
(Mad Child)
Look... when we forst hooked up my first thought was you're a pansy
You couldnt even rap on beat, you little four-eyed geek
(Prev)
Yeah? And at the club theres a reason we dont hang out that much
You're double fisted with two Heinekens, acting like a lush
(Mad Child)
Thats better than a leech
I tried to teach you to be tough
I guess its hard to squeeze strenght out of a cream puff
(Prevail)
Oh, you're rough?
(Mad Child)
Yeah, thats right
(Prevail)
Hey, let me pass you a pen
So you can fill an application at the hair club for men
CHORUS
(Mad Child)
I meant everything I said
(Prevail)
Everything I said I meant
(Mad Child and Prevail)
When this much is on the line, you know, theres times you gotta vent
We're magnificent together, its a perfect combination
(Mad Child)
I meant everything I said
(Prevail)
Everything I said I meant
(Mad Child and Prevail)
When this much is on the line, you know, theres times you gotta vent
We're magnificent together, its a perfect combination
(Prevail)
Man, you know how many times I've had to swallow my pride?
Put my feelings aside so that we wouldnt collide?
(Mad Child)
I know I'm hard to get along with, and much harder to work for
But I'm breaking my back while you're hanging out at the bookstore
(Prevail)
Yeah, but when I'm there, I'm reading Icarus, kinetics and english
So when we make songs at least our music sounds distinguished
(Mad Child)
C'mon, man, I make this happen, you don't appreciate shit
(Prevail) Oh, yeah?
(Mad Child)
I'm the one who hustled, yo, you never put in one cent
You're dead set in your ways, your stubbornness
(Prevail) What?
(Mad Child)
How do you think we got this far? It didnt happen from luck
(Prevail)
If I had a buck for every kid I've battled and slain
I'd have enough for my own fucking record label anyway
CHORUS
(Mad Child)
I meant everything I said
(Prevail)
Everything I said I meant
(Mad Child and Prevail)
When this much is on the line, you know, theres times you gotta vent
We're magnificent together, its a perfect combination
(Mad Child)
I meant everything I said
(Prevail)
Everything I said I meant
(Mad Child and Prevail)
When this much is on the line, you know, theres times you gotta vent
We're magnificent together, its a perfect combination
(Mad Child)
I hope you know these songs weren't made for free
(Prevail)
Man, I know, but once the cast comes back, you can recoup your dough
(Mad Child)
Yeah, bro, but you ain't even signed a contract
(Prevail)
No, that's right
(Mad Child)
I could get stabbed in the back
(Prevail)
You should know me better than that
(Mad Child)
Well, it's frustrating to me, I got a lot on my plate
(Prevail)
Well you're the one who put it there, I thought we already ate
(Mad Child)
All right, look... where was I back three years ago?
(Prevail)
Minimum wage
(Mad Child)
That's right... and where are we now?
(Prevail)
Yeah, different page
(Mad Child)
Okay, so what's the significance of the point I'm trying to make?
(Mad Child and Prevail)
We sound magnificent together
(Prevail)
So lets drop this whole debate
(Voice 1)
How many states?
(Mad Child)
Not many
(Voice 2)
How many countries?
(Prevail)
Plenty
(Voice 3)
How old are both y'all?
(Mad Child and Prevail)
Lets just say we're in our twenties
(Voice 4)
How'd you come up with the name Swollen Members?
(Mad Child and Prevail)
From your daddies
(Voice 5)
Any last words?
(Prevail)
Step up and you'll get kicked to the curb
We'll step on your verbs
We're ripping, you're a victim of words
(Mad Child and Prevail)
We're both putting in work, trying to get what we deserve
CHORUS
(Mad Child)
I meant everything I said
(Prevail)
Everything I said I meant
(Mad Child and Prevail)
When this much is on the line, you know, theres times you gotta vent
We're magnificent together, its a perfect combination
(Mad Child)
I meant everything I said
(Prevail)
Everything I said I meant
(Mad Child and Prevail)
When this much is on the line, you know, theres times you gotta vent
We're magnificent together, its a perfect combination
