I know how it feels to wake up fucked up,
Pockets broke as hell, another rock to sell.
People look at you like you’s the user,
Selling drugs to all the losers, mad buddha abuser.
But they don’t know about the stress-filled day…
Baby on the way, mad bills to pay,
That’s why you drink Tanqueray,
So you can reminisce and wish
You wasn’t living so devilish, shit.

Damn right I like the life I live,
Cause I went from negative to positive.
Cause I went from negative to positive.

Back in the days, our parents used to take care of us.
Look at ‘em now…they even fuckin’ scared of us.

There’s gonna be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing
If my burglar alarm starts ringing
If my burglar alarm starts ringing
