[05:49]You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling [05:51]To help your a** from bouncing off the walls when you get down some [05:55]And what's this sh*t about us meant to be together? [05:57]That type of sh*t'll make me not want us to meet each other [06:00]I really think you and your girlfriend need each other [06:03]Or maybe you just need to treat her better [06:05]I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time before you hurt yourself, [06:10]I think that you'll be doin just fine if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan [06:15]Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan [06:19]I just don't want you to do some crazy sh*t [06:21]I seen this one sh*t on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick [06:24]Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge [06:27]And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid [06:30]And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to [06:33]Come to think about, his name was.. it was you [06:36]Damn!
