The But You Don’t Look Sick Rap 🙂
Yo, yo
But You Don’t Look Sick
Hail to da spoon lady
I’m a spoonie, your sick buddy or your roomie
Wobble like a weeble or a frail old boomie
Spendin’ mad bank, then robbin’ the spoon bank
I don’t look like it but I’m ailin’ and mad crank
Don’t give me grief, I’ll run you down with my wheelchair
‘Cause you tick me off when I’m havin’ a bad flare
Smokin’ crappy doctors when I chillin’ with the broads
Tellin’ my homies that I need to make some calls
It’s my invisible illness
I don’t wanna make it no big business
Welfare’s puttin’ up resistance
Then it becomes my lawyer’s business
It’s my invisible illness
I don’t wanna make it no big business
Welfare’s puttin’ up resistance
Then it becomes my lawyer’s business
Grab my walker ’cause I need to hit the bathroom
Dammit, here comes my Irritable Bowel Syndrome
I’d clean the house but my ration won’t allow it
I’d hire a maid but my budget can’t take it
(Ow baby!) There goes my left hip again
I’d get a new one but it’s more than I can spend
Gotta eat, and then take my meds
Or I’ll be on the floor, screaming about cabbage heads
Spoonie gotta, gotta poppin’ them pills them pills
Spoonie wanna, wanna blockin’ them chills them chills
Spoonie gotta, gotta poppin’ them pills them pills
Spoonie wanna, wanna blockin’ them chills them chills
Gonna feel like ice like ice we feel
Spoonie wanna block wanna block the chill
It’s my invisible illness
I don’t wanna make it no big business
Welfare’s puttin’ up resistance
Then it becomes my lawyer’s business
It’s my invisible illness
I don’t wanna make it no big business
Welfare’s puttin’ up resistance
Then it becomes my lawyer’s business
*phone ringing*
“Hello, Smith’s Pharmacy.”
“Hi, I’m calling to get a prescription refill…”
From the JRA to the EDS
This my prayer but I am not blessed
From POTS to GERD
Wake your a– up and rap it with me
Spoonie walk, Spoonie wobble, Spoonie talk, Spoonie tremble
From a bucket to a handful and dessert to a ladle
Take the ramp if you feel trapped
When you get to the top just rap this rap
It’s my invisible illness
I don’t wanna make it no big business
Welfare’s puttin’ up resistance
Then it becomes my lawyer’s business
It’s my invisible illness
I don’t wanna make it no big business
Welfare’s puttin’ up resistance
Then it becomes my lawyer’s business
God can you hear me speak?
I need more spoons please…
