lyrics

A MOST PECULIAR REQUEST

Won’t you let me in your belly button?
I wanna come into your belly button
Oh mama, let me in that button
I wanna come into your belly button
I swear to goodness gracious that I will not bite
Let me sleep inside your bellybutton tonight

Let me come inside your belly button
I wanna come inside your belly button
Mama mama mama, let me in your belly button
I wanna come inside your belly button
Oh I don’t wanna have to throw a hissy fit
Let me in your button for a little bit

Damn, mama, can’t you see I’m torn?
I’ve been beggin’ for it since the day I was born
And all the voices tell me that it’s just so wrong
Won’t you sympathize with me? It’s where I belong!

Let me come inside your belly button
I wanna come inside your belly button
Oh mama, let me in your button
I wanna come inside your belly button
Oh mama, won’t you give it a try?
Let me come inside your belly button and die!

Hands-down one of the most incredible hip hop albums I've ever heard. The story, the production, it's all amazing and a harrowing and fascinating musical journey. Julian O.
