Some of Them Call Me a Poet

Location

Some of them call me a poet

It hit me before you know it

I've been sailing on this boat,

It's about time for me to row it

I've definitely changed

Compare me to Lindsay Lohan

But being under these lights

Has left me in the dark a-glowin’

But as the grass gets to growin’

And the neighbors get to movin’

I went from renting and loaning

And now it’s time for me to own it

What does all this mean?

It’s time for me to own up

I’ve been acting very kiddish

Now it’s time to be grown up

I’ve been working after all

In order to pay my loan up

And I’m done drinking alcohol

That will end up nearly thrown up

It’s time for me to show it

Like to keep my flame lit

So you know I’ll never blow it

Some of them call me a poet
