    "Exponentially serving. Perpetually unnerving. Vehicle swerving.
    The adjectives they are all a-blurring.
    Freud walking the sidelines clipboard scoring the brain.
    Black magic painted traits. Makes me sain.

    Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah.
    Please don't make me explain. Don't matter anyway.

    Phontom pain in my brain. It's all that's left of my leg.
    Black and Red and Yellow and Black and Red and Yellow.

    Heard you repeat a-what ya heard. Me knowing the truth I can not concure. Na-na.

    Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah.
    Please don't make me explain. Doesn't matter anyway.
    Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah.
    Please don't make me explain.

    Yo bro. Tell us what's happenin'. Um, I'm on the west, west side of, on the west coast.
    Give me a jingle, uh, when you get in from where the fuck you're at.

    Yeah, hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah.
    Please don't make me explain. Doesn't fucking matter anyway.
    Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah. Please don't make me explain."

    i love the song but WTF? Is Rodman comparable to a 50 ft Roman with all his hormones? as mad as those lyrics are, the first 4 lines are even more confusing!!

    I always figured it related to the hormones part. Romans had quite the sexual appetite, so imagine what a 50 foot roman would be like. Horny all the time, hormones firing!!!

    I thought it was ..."Like a 50ft Rodman..." ?? as in Dennis Rodman?

    Sounds like someone had a psychiatric assessment and didn't think too much of it.

    Word association and Raurscauk (i don't know how to spell that) ink blot tests seem evident. That what I get...but I though the 50' Roman referred to the fireworks...

    Blend the two together...

    when I first heard it, I thought it said "hormones firing like a 50ft woman" which made sense to me!
