Self Portrait Lyrics


Chilly Gonzales Self Portrait


I said I was a musical genius
I said I was a musical genius


I said I was a musical genius
I repeated it till it became meaningless
because you assumed I was joking
and then you thought about it
like, he's not joking
lisen, it's entertainment
but if you listen, the genius is in the arrangements
see I wasn't kidding, I wasn't bullshitting
anyways, you can't fire me now
'cause I'm quitting
I'm at home in a taxi cab
self-absorbed, the musical maxi-pad
I like sunsets, long walks on the beach
I don't rap like Big Poppa
'cause I don't preach

The closer I get to closure
I realize writing this is sheer torture
Today it's a real scorcher
I think I'm gonna set a fire to my own self portrait

The closer I get to closure
I realize writing this is sheer torture
Today it's a real scorcher
I think I'm gonna set a fire to my own self portrait

I'm way beyond snob
I'm a Louis Vuitton slob
You want the truth? No prob,
I see the face of god in a blow-job
I see the truth in Eric Cartman
and Salvador Dali and Dolly Parton
and even Chris Martin
when I danced to Viva La Vida alone in my apartment
I'm at home in a taxi cab
self-absorbed, the musical maxi-pad
I like sunsets, long walks on the beach
I don't rap like Big Poppa
'cause I don't preach

The closer I get to closure
I realize writing this is sheer torture
Today it's a real scorcher
I think I'm gonna set a fire to my own self portrait

The closer I get to closure
I realize writing this is sheer torture
Today it's a real scorcher
I think I'm gonna set a fire to my own self portrait


The self portrait, I wanna torch it
I love it but I wanna divorce it
Who's there? It's only despair
I try to avoid the void but it's just there
So when I go gray like Dorian
I won't be boring 'cause I think about historians
I'm going through a difficult stage
From young Nicolas Cage to present-day Nicolas Cage
I'm almost 40,
here's a bunch of folks to whom I should say sorry
I should write down my whole life story,
Chilly Gonzo, memento mori
I'm at home in a taxi cab
self-absorbed, the musical maxi-pad
I like sunsets, long walks on the beach
I don't rap like Big Poppa
'cause I don't preach

The closer I get to closure
I realize writing this is sheer torture
Today it's a real scorcher
I think I'm gonna set a fire to my own self portrait

The closer I get to closure
I realize writing this is sheer torture
Today it's a real scorcher
I think I'm gonna set a fire to my own self portrait
