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.

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
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
only he can make that joke
“I’m a gay sea otter, I blow other dudes out of the water” has lived rent-free in my head for years.
"Oedipus was the first Mother Fu*ker" has had a home in brain since this came out.

There are so many obscure references in this song and I'm proud to have understood like 3 of them.
I know I got Atticus Finch
I don't think they're very obscure....They're very well-known, I think that's the point. He wouldn't make references that no one would get. I think it mostly caters to 90's kids though. Hungry Hungry (Hippos)...Helga Pataki....YMCA....Rolie Polie Olie....To Kill a Mockingbird (pretty much everyone who's been in high school since that book came out, not just 90's kids, know this)....And Oedipus was a wildly famous story in Greek mythology about some guy who was into his mom or something.
oedipus killed his father and then married and had sex with his mother. the oracle told him this would happen, but by trying to avoid it by getting away from his, to him unbeknownst, adoptive parents (hes actually the son of the emperor of the city he goes to), and going to a city (i think athens or sth) his real father also knew of the oracle and thats why he let him be taken away and left to die, but his adoptive parents found him. while on his way, he gets in a brawl with a man and it leads to him murdering said man. when he arrives at the city, the habitants are starving because the y cant leave bc a sphinx is blocking their way outside the city. if you gave the right answer to his riddle, he would leave. so oedipus is really smart and solves it. the riddle was: what has 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the middle of the day and 3 in the evening?
the answer was: man. in the "morning", aka beginning of his life, a person walks on arms and legs, in the middle of the "day" (s)he can walk upright, and at the end of ones life, the "evening" one uses a cane, which is the "third leg". the sphinx is like "fuck" and kills himself by jumping off a cliff he is on. the town is really happy and stuff, and praise him and all. he gets to be with the, recently bewidowed, emporers wife, and they marry and have children. but a new problem is in town. the plague has broken out and a lot of the habitants are infected and/or dead. oedipus goes to the oracle or some old man idk, and asks how to fix the plague problem. the oracle/old man tells him the killer of the former emperor must leave the town in order for that to happen. after a lomg search he meets witnesses of the crime and he finds out that he was the one that killed the emperor, and that he was his father! dun dun duuuun! disgusted by this he stabs his eyes out because he cant handle to see himself and/or the world bc of the disgrace (i think) (thats what you see in bos video) and his wife/mother kills herself. he leaves town now blind and lives the rest of his life a homeless man who knows he subconsciously killed his father and fucked his mother.
some things i said in here might not be right, but most of it is true.
now one more cool thing: freud believed all men had an "oedipus complex" - they subconsciously wanted to kill their fathers and/to fuck their mothers, but because this was such a taboo in that time (and obviously now) it only happened in the subconscious and could only be shown through dreams in vague metaphors (eg a girl with balloons = the primal urge for boobs)

this song has consumed at lest 500 hours of my life
Same..
the purple shade same
That's 6000 times. Wow.
(I know you're exaggerating)
you'd have to play the song 128,100 times for that to be true
Same except it's JonTrons love is like drugs. If you hasn't seen it you need to listen to it
this is art
this is 10 years old jesus christ where did the time go…
ikr
Scary
11 in like 20 days lmao
This song is underrated.
All of Bo's songs are.
Yes, 14 million views is highly underrated
Josh Anderson It’s Everyday Bro has 150+ million views. Need I say more.
Nyx The Devil and have more dislikes than the likes (sorry for my eng)
I mean, this could have the most views in the world and still be underrated.
I LOVE THE LINES
“you can let no burnham burn em”
AND
“botox in the third person, give the perspective a switch and, bo talks in the third person”
SO MUCHHHH
i don’t get the second one help me
The first one especially is just *chef's kiss*
Coming back to watch the video is a monthly occurrence
I recently started rewatching all of Bo's stuff because I had a phase where he was like all I watched/listened to. I've always loved this music video because like Jesus, can you imagine how long it took to edit? Like it would take a really really really long time to edit this in 2019, but this was 2010. Editing was so much more difficult back then and it's evolved so much. This truly is a work of art even if you take away the music.
Why is no one actually praising the music video? It's so well done.
Yeap, that's some godly editing.
Made eight years ago. Light years ahead of it's time.
"Just here in my bedroom, got this piano here. But you want to know what I like more then pianos? Catchy choruses.
+Dylan Lollar I like you
+Dylan Lollar This... This i like I WANT MORE
Dylan Lollar but he hates catchy choruses
This played while I was on other tab and I legit thought it was Eminem I'm crying rnnn
Bo’s shit is so underrated. All these years later, it still holds up. He’s one of the few old-school UA-camrs that I can still watch at 30.
15 million views
@@powerpug964 Not that powerful a feat by today’s standards. And I’m talking more about longevity than anything. Look at My Favorite Martian and its viewer numbers and tell me it holds a candle to this.
Well, it just got two more million views
I want this to be the only thing found from our civilization thousands of years from now
same
That would make the future interesting
Omg that would be hilarious
Brent Rounsville I read this comment right when he said he said came in cider and it was pery
it has to be
Haters will say he used a green screen
Nah bro I think he’s just rich
Not fair I wanna meet a dinosaur
this song is a fever dream
"Bo talks in the third person" im mad that I'm just now getting this
I still dont xD
@@laylover7621
"Bo talks in the third person."
-bo
And, another potential meaning...
holy fuck
It also ties into the previous plastic surgery line.
Bo talks = Botox
Holy shit
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
i can't believe how unbelievably clever and chaotic this song is
yes
this is my favorite video ever. i watch it when im sad. everyone i show it to cant watch more than a minute of it bc they are scared. i fear something is wrong with me
There is nothing wrong with you, there's something wrong with them 😂😂😂
@@janmulcahy1458 thank you the fear was getting to me-
