lyrics by me.
produced by me and kool keith! whoa! (that's his voice in the song saying "hypocrite")
video by Duncan Skiles & Sean Donnelly
lyrics
i'm a feminine eminem, a slim shady lady
but nice cause i texted haiti
90 lady cops on the road and i'm arrested for doing 80.
like hamlet, all about "words, words, words"
divide a whole into thirds, thirds, thirds.
i'm a gay sea otter.
i blow other dudes out of the water.
i'm the man muffin, divin', muffin,
cold and fly like an arctic puffin,
puffin whacky tobaccy
hatin other rappers like i'm Helga Pataki
and i've been rockin this mic before electricity
way back in 1000 BCE - thats before the common era.
i can't be stopped, flow so sick that it should be mopped up
chick's got a dixie cup, i gotta dick full of helium, i'll fuck you up.
a boy, a girl, a middle aged bitch, botox in the third person.
i give the perspective a switch and bo talks in the third person.
just relax, if you wanna know me, here's two facts
i hate catchy choruses and i'm a hypocrite.
hungry hungry hippocrite.
i hate catchy choruses and i'm a hypocrite.
met a girl named Macy had sex with her all day,
but she was dyslexic, so i ended up doin the YMCA
we ballin, asian, wii bowlin, prostate cancer semi-colon,
find that hole like i'm Stephen Hawking,
Atticus Finch, killing, mocking.
cry like a child would, you raped my childhood
just stroll in, roll in your pole into Rolie Polie Olie's colon.
to relax my mind i take a walk by the clock and i pass the time and
rhymin, mathematic timin, syntax impacts the intact hymen.
i'm an internet provider, came from the web like a horny spider,
fucked a girl in an apple orchard, then came in cider (inside her)
i thought AIDS was a butt virus like conjunction junction conjunctivitis
i spit gold bars cause i was molested by my uncle midas
gay dads blow pops, another sucker,
oedipus was the first motherfucker.
chorus.
we the people of the USA
jose, we're not talkin to you, esse.
we got a border in order to keep you out,
it's what my NYU essay's about
cause we're, xenophobic warrior princess,
molested by my uncle sam, is that incest?
"I WANT YOU" to smell my finger
does my nephew's scent still linger?
south of queers, north of hell,
the queer ones suck and the brown one's smell
we guard the border and we guard it well
but some slip through the cracks of the liberty bell
did i say liberty? i meant taco, paco, hey you better let that rock go
cause in real life goliath wins
and then sells all the silk that the widow spins.
chorus
bitches and hoes, bo's hoes, oh, bitches and hoes, bitches, hoes.
bitches and hoes don't exist because the hoes know bo's a feminist,
bitches and hoes don't exist because the hoes know bo's a feminist
so take off your bras and burn em or you can let me burn em
take off your bras and burn em, or you can let bo burnham burn em.

So you know how he says 'Oedipus was the first motherf***er' well I did research and Oedipus was a Greek god that was to kill his dad and marry his mom......he took anything possible and made a pun out of it
hi, idk if anyone cares but if you're wondering what all of the puns mean i uploaded a video that explains them.
This is why you don’t give nineteen year olds green screen but damn this is a masterpiece
yes
i think this is why you SHOULD give 19 y/o's green screen.
i thought aids was a butt virus ? like conjunction, junction conjunctivitis
@@RaYYTraYY This is the real answer
i just realized he says "im selling out" at the beginning. then walks out of the bedroom for the last time. we never saw him in the bedroom era again. bo dont miss.
Well, we do see him in the bedroom again.
@@envitaly Ayo 🤨...oh wait nvm "Inside" exists
But not THE bedroom
"I'm just sitting here in my bedroom" looks like everything's come full circle.
maybe he is choreographing his life... (tis a joke, pls don't take me seriously)
Yeah look who’s inside again
Yup

well well look whos inside again
I don't think I've ever seen a comedian with such great wordplay.

he seems like a guy who would tell you a joke when your house is full with smoke
Don't panic, call him up, he'll tell you a joke :)
Oh shiiiit, he’s really joking at a time like this
Well well look whos inside again.. Went out to look for a reason to hide again

Bo rhyming “Botox” with “Bo talks” is legendary
He names three people then says "Botox in the third person" then "change the perspective and.... Bo talks in the third person (perspective)" Goddamned amazing. How did I not find this until recently??
@@THEGREATMAX Welcome friend, to the world's most clever lyricist. Probably. I dunno, but he's certainly funny.
@@THEGREATMAX he is also LITERALLY talking IN the 3rd person in the video.
Or rhyming "USA" with "you ese" Honestly just on another level

forgot how much of a masterpiece this was bro
I disagree
@@eggsloshI second this
@@eggslosh shut up. get out my comment section
My biggest flex is that while other teens my age were playing sports and going outside, I sat in my room and memorized all the lyrics to this song.
Damn my biggest flex was playing sports and memorizing all the lyrics 😈
Sounds like part of the Nerds lyrics. "And do you know why, kid, I can rap so mean? Cuz I was reading while you were fucking the prom queen! Huddled up reading, no lacrosse team! "Huddle up, huddle up!" What? You lost me.
My biggest flex is i gave idea and lyrics of this song & invented sports "chhichore" It's very hard game you can't play
That's sad

Wheres your proof? I mean, looks pretty legit to me.

that would be great. some higher society possibly frightened by what we created.
"No wonder they are extinct!"
good.
Omg
LMAO
This song is one hell of a ride, I'm all for it. The production must've been insane.
i cant tell if this is a pun or not..
Like the song?
but you thought we were riding to heaven
I feel bad for people who met Bo with Inside instead of this masterpiece
As someone who discovered Bo through Inside this summer, it would be funny if this is how I discovered him.
I think my first Bo song was New Math because my math teacher at my tiny all girls school showed it to us one day lol
Yup
amen brother
Fr 😔
okay who tf gave Bo a green screen
Ana I don't know,but it was a -bad- good idea.
I’m sorry, he asked for it and I didn’t need it. (I didn’t actually, obviously)
A good boy A bad boy A good bad boy A half good, half bad, half boy I'm sorry ._.
God himself
I know
Dude, Bo wasn't old enough to drink and he's spitting comical bars that would make any English teacher cream their shorts.

sometimes i forget bo is 6'5 and that terrifies me.
HES W H A T
he's literally a giant
Holy fucking shit what?
Failed Abortion WAIT WHAT- HOLY FUCKKKKKK
taller than technoblade lol
Bo talks in the third person and Botox in the third person is so painfully genius
i dont get it
oh no he says 3 people “a boy, a girl, a middle aged bitch, Botox in the third person” as in the middle aged bitch uses Botox then he says “give the perspective a switch and Bo talks in the third person” as in he is talking about himself in the third person
@@asdsadasdsad296 He is also literally inside the third person so it works on 3 levels - there's botox on the third person, Bo is talking in the third person, and Bo pops out of her so he is also actually inside the third person
I want him to go up against Eminem 😂😂😂😂
That’s the entire song. Almost every line can be read from more than one perspective. Took me forever to realize that’s why it’s called words words worss
this is such a product of its time. The camera, the editing and everything feels like a time capsule to back into the the early 2010's

this is genuinely one of the most intricately written songs ever
The depth of jokes in Bo's flow. I've listened to this countless times, each instance a greater appreciation for Bo's rhymes. I'm not an insider, only now did I comprehend came in cider.
"I hate catchy choruses and i'm a hypocrite." Singlehandedly the catchiest chorus i've ever heard
GD Diggy i see a comment from you on every song of bo’s. thank you for appreciating him like i do :)
Which makes it pretty hypocritical
Thats the point sergeant :)

@Daniel Courter You know Bo was making fun of you, right?
@Daniel Courter what
@Daniel Courter Bruh you're talking about people draining the american economy as if it isn't based in draining other countries' economies lol. I don't think it's for selfish people, but even if it was, I'd see it as a favor to the world. Fuck America.
This applies so well so much after the vid was made
“F’ed a girl in Apple orchard, then came in ‘cider’” is probably my favourite lyric ever
Its so poorly edited whilst simultaneously being the best music video ever made.
Can't believe this is the same man that made me cry with All eyes on me
I cried for all of inside except for the 2 Jeff bezos songs
@@Maddie_is_a_swiftie wait even at unpaid intern?

he is an absolute genius, probably was a freestyle rap he just thought of in 1 take
@@blastixart6205 For you to say that means you obviously do not understand all of the lyrics. I'd be willing to bet its impossible for anyone to understand all the jokes and puns in this song with just 1 listen, let alone freestyle them.

POV: You're watching Bo's older videos after finishing his masterpiece 'Inside'
"Father please forgive me for I did not realize what I did, or that I'd live to regret it."
fallen back into bo burnham phase
After the holding him accountable song 😂
My memory of all these songs was that they were like 90% puns and I think I low balled it by like 10%
POV indeed
This is one of the most cleverly written songs in history, change my mind
this song is a fever dream
I think this song represents everything Bo sings jokes about. Sexism, ironic prejudice, poetry and rhyming, himself, and wordplay. This is probably his best work.

and immigration
And hypocrisy
rant. is
Also apparently Greek heroes.
“you can let boburnham burn ‘em” i love that but sm.

This was an amazing piece of music for the limited Internet that 2010 had back then
10 years. still amazing

same thoughts but with dreamsexual
why is no one talking about how long this took to edit
Because they shouldn't.
It'd be too long a conversation, just be happy that the commitment was made
knowing how godly bo is, probably took him 1 day.
because it wasn't edited
adriana raww You don't need to edit it if you have illegal drugs
One of the greatest songs ever written and the video itself is a masterpiece of editing

Its back on there ❤️
