lyrics

People hear I rap and think it means I’m hard. Hello
My bars jello
I’m a marshmallow

Double bubble gum blue. Lemon tart yellow
My bars jello
I’m a marshmallow

What’s soft and sweet
But y’all want s’more when it brought the heat
C’mon it’s me
I don’t do drop kicks
But I’ll kick it if you drop a beat

Not about to throw hands or cuss at you
But might run up on the dance floor and bust a move
If old people need a spot on the bus I’ll move
Chew my food for thought you won’t bust a tooth

I’m a sandwich with the crust removed
Seeing guy friends doing lunch for two
I get mushy too. My wife says I crushed my set
I’m like, Mmm, got a crush on you

Apologizing even as I’m rushing through
Canadian politeness. What? It’s true
All the Ps and Qs that a Canuck can do
And I’m sorry if this is too much for you

People hear I rap and think it means I’m hard. Hello
My bars jello
I’m a marshmallow

Double bubble gum blue. Lemon tart yellow
My bars jello
I’m a marshmallow

Only come at me if you want some
Better brush your teeth if you want gums
Chilling in a hot mug
Of hot chocolate for my hot tub

I’ve hung out with people who smelled bad
Won a rap battle then felt bad
I worked Christmas Eve in an elf hat
I’m a marshmallow. How you spell that

Um, M-A-R-S-H-M-A-L-L-O-W
Not M-E-L-L. Yep, that gives me trouble too

People hear I rap think it means I’m hard. Hello
My bars jello
I’m a marshmallow

Double bubble gum blue. Lemon tart yellow
My bars jello
I’m a marshmallow

Just because I’m rapping doesn’t mean I’m hard. Hello
My bars jello
I’m a marshmallow

Double bubble gum blue. Lemon tart yellow
My bars jello
I’m a marshmallow

Ch-chewy in the middle of a cookie
Ch-chewy when I imitate a Wookiee
Tell Sesame Street they should book me
And put me trading bars with Elmo

If I don’t pull your heartstrings then your heart’s Velcro
Marshmallow
