The last, lust, a luxury, we love to be with hands tied
Suddenly a camp fire, come with we to stand right, lets go

Raise me, with barred arms hardy "har-har"
I saw Sartre, its all art, like ha ha i know
If it pays me, its a/c, don't hate me, like Jarr Jarr, I'm Binks with no blinkers, I've grown

Co-sign, co-crime, no love, no life, oh my good lord, lets
Go like, cold light, n, soul sight, low life's
Fortnight, pulp fiction, so we might propane
Booth be looking like a studio used to live in

Take you time, roll yo' spliff
Pay yo mind, raise you kids
Take the chips, and never look back
Play for keeps, and never cut crack

Take you time, roll yo' spliff
Pay yo mind, raise you kids
Take the chips, and never look back
Play for keeps, and never cut crack
