intro
I think my blood sugar’s dropping
Dropping harder than this beat, heh, okay

verse
Dear pancreas, how hard is it to do your job?
I’ll tell ya how hard it is, i do it a lot
24 hours a day, seven days a week
You’re weak! you’re weaker than me
I have diabetes, you thought that you could stop me?
Thought you could kill me off? i guess that i’m better off
Because i do your job better than you ever could
You see, my auto immune system, she misunderstood
I dia-beat these everyday, dka right before christmas day
You thought you could get rid of me but i’m herе to stay
You know i really am just one incorrect dosе away from death
And it’s on my mind every second, every single day
All thanks to you, my friend, since you decided you'd betray me
Dear pancreas

chorus
You better not come too close, before you raise my glucose
You better not come too close
You better not come too close, before you raise my glucose
You better not come too close
Mm, mm, mm

verse
Day and night fixing my glucose with a dose of insulin
I can’t avoid, that was too close, too close!
Took a bit to get used to this diagnosis after ketoacidosis
I know this is making me feel crazy, i hate this!
Everyday, dka right before christmas day
Okay, you thought you could get rid of me but i’m still here to stay
Sitting useless in my body, i see that’s how you play
Staying up all night, my blood sugar wants to fight
I can never get it right, seems like i’ll never get it right
Now i’m sticking myself with needles, man i wish i didn’t need to
But i gotta keep myself alive, constant job just to survive
But it should be your job, not mine, you’re supposed to be on my side
My own body went against me, someone tell me this is a lie
Vital organs lacking off, responsibilities you hand off to me
Seriously?

bridge
You’re- you’re serious?
My- my immune system?
Attacked one of my vital organs?
Why would it do that-?
And now i have to deal with this
And now i have to deal with this everyday
For the rest of my life
Thanks a lot pancreas

chorus
You better not come too close, before you raise my glucose
You better not come too close, ooh
You better not come too close, before you raise my glucose
You better not come too close
