What the Folk!

Hurt Feelings

Some people say that rappers don't have feelings,
we have feelings, we have feelings
Some people say that we are not rappers, we're rappers,
that hurts our feelings, that hurts our feelings when you say we're not rappers
Some people say that rappers are invincible,
we're vincible, we're vincible
What you are about to hear are true stories
Real experiences
Autobiographical raps
Things that happened to us all true
Bring the rhyme!

I make a meal for my friends, try to make it delicious
try to keep it nutritious, create wonderful dishes
not one of them thinks about the way I feel
Nobody compliments the meal

I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
I feel like a prize asshole, no one even mentions my casserole
I've got hurt feelings, I've got hurt feelings
You could have said something nice about my profiteroles

here's a little story to bring a tear to you eye
I was shoppping for a wetsuit to scuba dive
But every suit I tried was too big around the thighs
And the assistant suggested I try a ladies size

I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
I'm not gonna wear a ladies wet suit, I'm a man!
I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
Get me a small man's wet suit please!

It's my birthday, 2003
Waiting for a call from my family, they forgot about me
I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
The day after my birthday is not my birthday, Mum

I call my friends and say "let's go into town."
But they're too busy to go into town.
So I go by myself, I go into town, then I see all my friends, they're all in town
I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
They've all lined up to see that movie, Maid In Manhattan

Have you ever been told your ass is too big?
have you ever been asked if your hair was a wig?
Have you ever been told you're mediocre in bed?
Have you ever been told you have a weird shaped head?

Has your family ever forgotten you and driven away?
Once again they forgot about J.
Have you ever been called "homo" because at school you took drama?
Have you ever been told you look like a llama?

Tears of a rapper, tears of a rapper
I'm crying tears of a rapper, tears of a rapper

Hurt Feelings (Reprise)

I've got hurt feelings, I've got hurt feelings,
I've got hurt feelings, I've got hurt feelings,
I've got hurt feelings, I've got hurt feelings,
I've got hurt feelings, I've got hurt feelings, hurt feelings

Have you ever been made fun of because of where you were from?
Have you ever been dissed over the intercom?
Have you ever found a gift you've given thrown away?
Have you ever been told that you were the wrong shape?
Have you ever been told you were Miss New Zealand?
Have you ever had hurt feelings?

Thanks for being so efficient with the lyricizing, Dandy.

I think you may already know, but Jemaine was singing about Profiteroles. How great that he was able to find another word to rhyme with 'casserole.'

Ahh, yes. I was lazy and didn't spellcheck.

Corrected now.

Thanks, ufotofu!

Also the "day" in "The day after my birthday isn't my birthday" seems just the littlest bit absent. Wonderfully composed otherwise, I must say, to hopefully avoid hurt feelings.

Nice catch!

Corrected.
