Problematic (Explicit)

Problematic (Explicit) - Bo Burnham

Lyrics by：Bo Burnham

Composed by：Bo Burnham

I grew up as your usual suburbanite

A tiny town in Massachusetts overwhelmingly white

White white white

I went to church on Sundays in a suit and a tie

In a suit and a tie

Then spent my free time watching Family Guy

I started doing comedy when I was just a sheltered kid

I wrote offensive s**t and I said it

Father please forgive me for I did not realize what I did

Or that I'd live to regret it

Times are changing and I'm getting old

Are you gonna hold me accountable

My bed is empty and I'm getting cold

Isn't anybody gonna hold me accountable

Ugh

I'm problematic

He's a problem

When I was 17 on Halloween I dressed up as Aladdin

He's a problem

I did not darken my skin but still it feels weird in hindsight

I want to show you how I'm growing as a person but first

I feel I must address the lyrics from the previous verse

I tried to hide behind my childhood and that's not okay

My actions are my own I won't explain them away

I've done a lot of self-reflecting since I started singing this song

I was totally wrong when I said it

Father please forgive me for I did not realize what I did

Or that I'd live to regret it

Times are changing and I'm getting old

Are you gonna hold me accountable

My bed is empty and I'm getting cold

Isn't anybody gonna hold me accountable

Ugh

I'm problematic

He's a problem

I just remembered that Aladdin costume's in my mother's attic

He's a problem

I'm gonna go home and burn it

Or not burn it

Is burning it bad

What should I do with it

And I've been totally awful

My closet is chock-full of stuff that is vaguely s**tty

All of it was perfectly lawful

Just not very thoughtful at all and just really s**tty

And I've been totally awful

My closet is chock-full of stuff that is vaguely s**tty

All of it was perfectly lawful

Just not very thoughtful at all and just really

And I'm really f**king sorry

B***h I'm trying to listen s**t I've been complicit

Sorry

If I'm gonna catch up first I gotta fess up

Sorry

Sorry
