lyrics

(CHORUS)
1 Chubby white guy with a beard and a dream
1 skinny white weirdo, goat looking mean
Got a raison d’être, blaze you betcha
Plays for days lay chumps on a stretcha
Drop bumps the lumps seem to catch ya
Dump bums but son we gonna get ya
Latency? No lags, patients see toe tags
Street Trash mo rags and mo rags and mo rags
[Pure shag and sipping outta bags
Mo’ hags, tap any tail that wags
Dope snags, been saving up for Zags
Street trash go rags to rags to rags]
(V1.Fred)
I was born in dirt, I was born to lose
I come from nothing
I was born to hurt, I refuse
I live to win for something
Not the monkeys on my clavicles
A matter of factual fool
A Dummy for cracking rules
& batter with tactical tools
Practical to gradually striving for a better me
Talking bout’ a salary from climbing out the gutter
Be no rags to riches, still be bagging bitches
Until the magic switches, & then they’re dragged in ditches/
You don’t really need cash, with a pure & free heart
& if you ain’t been street trash you sure ain’t street smart
Charter hard times while I barter for my dark life
Others might fly, I might slumber in the park, might…
Snooze on a bench catch some zzzzzz’s in a couch store
Chew that bitch Life’s snatch clean till’ my mouth sore
Going for gusto and chasing for gold
& the old folklore cliches we’re all told
(CHORUS)
(V2.Burt)
I was born a nerd and I didn’t really change
Scorn I heard but my soul I didn’t rearrange
Kinda mangy, fine with the scruff
Took all the guff and I shook off the rough stuff
Scene shifter met with the Grifter
Zin in the bins and some gin in the snifter
Saw peeps reinventing their steezes
I still flow like the Po bro of Jesus
Burt Christ I deliver the hurt twice
Shirts tight cuz I eat mad dessert, right?
And all the pert tight titties got licked
And all the dirt bag ditties got kicked
Spawned two trashies, teach now my lessons
Don’t step, keep fuckin round, quit Messin
Mouldy like old cheese still we the OGs
Bold in our tin crowns suckers never hold these
(CHORUS)
Pure shag and sippin outta bags
Mo’ hags, tap any tail that wags
Dope snags, been saving up for Zags
Street trash go rags to rags to rags
