    "but i run into them running through the kitchen
    pretending to be blind superman, cuz i had no supervision"
    this line goes well beyond OP's education

    You're right. I stand corrected.

    Isn't he saying there won't be enough ketchup for the mustard? There's no metaphor there. He's not saying they're ketchup and he's mustard, he's saying they'll never ketchup to his mustard, which makes no sense, it's just food reference, no metaphor.

    I can accept the Just Lose It metaphor, but I don't accept the mustard.

    Actually those are some of my favorite lines.

    Well it's very random, but imagine a dish that uses both ketchup and mustard, he's basically saying that there's more mustard (his energy) than ketchup (the guys trying to catch up). Its not really anything special, he uses the two because of the clever wordplay, but it is poor as an actual metaphor because of the lack of context. Still a metaphor, just a bad one

    and sorry for insulting you

    Using this example could also create the argument that you have been out-done by the man in question though.

    "Corny" could refer to a corn dog, which you would put ketchup and mustard on. Thus making it a metaphor.

    This then makes the second point even worse as it's its taken lot longer than six minutes though to realise this.
