Ass, Donkey & Mule

He’s late again Laughing in the hallway Phone up Filming Yeah He’s on his way He calls at midnight “Check this link right now” Another cursed clip I’m half-asleep Like wow He’s bragging on the couch Feet up on the table Talking like a king Still broke Barely stable He’s the last one leaving every party Louder than the speakers when he walks in the room We say “Look at this guy Such a trouble heartbeat” But if he disappeared We’d all feel the wound He’s an ass He’s a donkey He’s a mule Big heart Big mouth Big fool We love the chaos Love the show But boy You gotta grow Ass Donkey Stubborn mule Still our clown Still our jewel We keep laughing Yeah It’s true But we’re all waiting on a better you He flirts with everyone Forgets their names by ten Sends “please don’t leave me” texts Then ghosts them all again He’s memeing in the group chat When we’re talking real Drops a joke on top of What we’re trying to feel He hides his doubts behind the punchlines Won’t admit he’s scared of being stuck in this groove We see the cracks slip out between the one-liners Under all that noise There’s a heart that can move He’s an ass He’s a donkey He’s a mule Big heart Big mouth Big fool We love the chaos Love the show But boy You gotta grow Ass Donkey Stubborn mule Still our clown Still our jewel We keep laughing Yeah It’s true But we’re all waiting on a better you One night Lights low in the kitchen You said “What if this is all I’ll ever be?” Eyes red Hands fidgeting Twitching First time you ever dropped the parody We said “Listen We’re not here for perfect We just want the real you shining through You can still be wild Still be wicked Just learn when the joke’s not about you” You’re more than the memes you’re sending (hey!) More than the mask you wear More than the punchline pending We know there’s something there (ooh yeah) Grow up Don’t fade out You can keep the crazy Just cut the doubt Grow up Don’t fade out We want the man Not just the shout You’re our ass You’re our donkey You’re our mule Big heart Big mouth Big fool We love the chaos Love the show But boy You gotta grow Ass Donkey Stubborn mule Still our clown Still our jewel We keep dancing Yeah It’s true Till the lights come up We’re rooting for you Still late again But you text “I’m trying” We send back hearts And a meme replying You walk in softer But the grin’s still loud Same old joker Just a little more proud (oh yeah)
