'Cause the mud still flows into my butter
I'm licking my 'bobo's'
That boy's chick sees her grandmother.
'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like taking photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter.
20-20 fishes
20-20 vision
Blue, clouded grey
You're not a cracker.
Blue, clouded grey
You're not a crack-up.
Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm lactating photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter.
Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like taking photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter.
Could be New York
Maybe Holly wouldn't mind.
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine.
Do what they want, to keep the people calm
Y'know they murdered X
Then tried to blame it on his mom
They turned the power to the half notch
Then came the shock.
or
We turned the power to the half-notch.
Networks at work keeping people calm
Y'know they murdered X
Then tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
Then came the shot.
Leak out, leak out
Wake up, wake up
Make up, make up on a Saturday fight
Could be New York or Hollywood in mind.
Wake up, wake up on a Saturday night
Could be New York, maybe Hollywood and Vine.
Networks at work, keepin' Viet Cong
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
People in motion
sick of all the satan teens
People in motion
sick of all the same routines
They play my game
They think they're good at everything.
They know my name
They think they know everything.
W***er! W***er!
Wake up! Wake up!
W***er, wake up.
Wake up, wake up.
Wake up
Wake up
On a Saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Holly wouldn’t mind
Wake up
Wake up
On a Saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
Wank up, wank up
Wake up, wake up
Who cares - you wrote the note
Who cares - you light a smoke
Who cares - you wrote the note
Who cares - you might have spoke
You're Just On A Trip To Tuck
You're Just Not D**** Enough To F***
