Quotable Lyrics:
Switched out the friendly smile, but a face that reads, “F*** you, pay me” (Two to beam up, Scotty)
Ain’t got rabies, I just overdose off coke and dope, I know they hopе I died (Yeah, yeah)
My back is achin’ from holdin’ thе underground down ever since we dropped “High Tide” (Yeah, sheesh)
Standin’ in my grave like I ain’t 5’9 (Grey)
One more minute ’til the hours done, I’ll take my time (F*** off)
Fake my pride, it’s really all about state of mind
