All them little worker bees make honey for the queen
My wings grow tired building someone else's dream
Inside that hive we're all just buzzing to survive
At least I was a part of something while I was alive
I'll try to pollinate and hope that something grows
Spawn a life that's beautiful, that's all I have to show
I wouldn't swat at me I'm itching just to sting
Ain't afraid of consequences self destruction brings
Alone inside my honeycomb is where I tend to be
It's hard to leave a house like this when the floor sticks to your feet
Feel the bonds of brotherhood when the swarm needs to attack
But other than that this yellow and black just minds his own beeswax
All the bees they ain't gonna never give me a chance
A stumbling mumbling bumble bee, I never learned to dance
So when I die I ain't gonna leave nobody any honey to share
You can bet your ass I'm coming back as a big black honey bear
