South Park Elementary Fish Sticks

Yo, yo, hold up, hold up. Everybody keeps talkin’ ‘bout this fish sticks thing like it’s funny, like it’s a joke. Nah, see, y’all don’t understand the vision. Fish sticks ain’t some late-night cafeteria food - fish sticks are art. Golden. Crispy. Dipped in the sauce of creation itself. When I bite into a fish stick, I’m biting into destiny, into genius.

But every time I walk into a room, somebody wanna say, ‘Hey Kanye, you like fish dicks?’ NO. No, I don’t like fish dicks. I don’t even know why y’all keep saying that! I’m a creative prophet, I’m the voice of a generation, and you think I don’t know the difference between sticks and-? Man, stop playin’ with me!
