        Johnny 2X4
        This here's the tale of Johnny 2X4.
        Word on the schoolyard was he was a bore.
        This here's the tale of Johnny 2X4
        And his good old pally named Plank.

        Now Plank done said to Johnny 2X4
        "why don't you stick up for yourself more?"
        Now Plank done said to Johnny 2X4
        "I'll teach you how to fight"

        "now Plank" said Johnny, "I don't think the kids are very mean to me.
        They laugh and joke but it's all fun and games as far as I can see.
        They call me names but it's okay cos I'm a bigger man than that.
        They all mean well and I can tell cos I am sharper than a cat.

        Well, Plank said "you're mine, bitch. You don't call the shots, I do.
        If you're not going to listen then I guess I'll have to force you to.
        You look a lil scared and I guess that you forgot,
        I'm rooted in your brain, whether you like it or not."

        "I'm your thoughts and your fears. I am you, Johnny-boy."

        Well, Johnny tried to fight out plank for rightful rule of his bad brain.
        For days, he fought the evil thoughts,a level head he must maintain.
        Johnny neared victory fast. the respite eased his pain,
        But Plank was vicious and struck him hard. Johnny's fight was lost in vain.


        Well, that was the tale of Johnny 2X4.
        Trapped in a brain that wasn't his no more.
        Plank had told Johnny 2X4
        To up and kill them all.
I did this up a few weeks ago while on break. It came from an image I had saw previous, maybe I'll find it and link it.

Ever watch Ed, Edd n Eddy? Having revisited it years after I had seen it as a child, I was pleased with the cartoon over all. It had that strange thing going on wherein it was the dumbest show (premise, characters, execution), but there's this kind of humour that is made to jab at older audiences. Think golden age Cartoon Network. Aimed at kids, but enjoyable by all demographics.
Now, there was a character called Johnny 2X4 who would cart around this board with a face drawn on it named "Plank" as a type of imaginary friend. I never liked Johnny, and when I write, I like to pick on and kick the shit out of characters who I don't like. More so for characters who don't deserve it, and Johnny definitely did not deserve it.

I had a very "weird" type of music to compliment the vernacular of the song. It's very slang and there are certain instances where the grammar is off or just strange. Not wrong, but there are times when things can be grammatically correct and people still avoid using these conventions. think like that. subsequently, there are words that rhyme mid sentence but are not part of the overall rhyme scheme. There's a mixture of more complex words interspersed with more personal slang-speak.
In my head, I hear it like a Primus song.
