  • Furrresh"It's amazing to me how much you can say
    When you don't know what you're talking about"

    These lines aren't about Marshall, but Marshall's mom. It's pretty clear: "I hate your mom, I hate it when she opens her mouth, it's amazing to me how much you can say, when you don't know what you're talking about"
