[Chorus]
Sex, and drugs, and dirty money
On the race to rule the world, you
Cut your teeth on fame and diamonds
Your time is up now
Three, Two, one
one one one one one one one one one
(We number) one one one one one one one one one

Y-Y-Yo, we them Slaughter House rockstars
The pictures black
We signing every titty out, we going tit for tat
Like can you picture that?
And how ironic
Is it that I riding 'round listenin' to Nickleback? (I'm back)
On a pill
I'm tryin'a have Rod Stewart cars and Ozzy Osbourne motor skills
I'm tryin'a have a rich bitch like Paris Hilton
That like to get her ass smacked like Keri Hilson 
I'm The one, who you tryin'a be?
Nothing to hide, the jimmy covers up my Tommy Lee
The one, I stage dive to a pot of gold
I'm empty, nothings inside me but Rock 'n' Roll

[Chorus]

Crooked's gotta gun
I'm wreckless with lead
Zepplin instead
Let's get a keg
Let's split a mescaline that messes with ya head
I'm sexing a les'
And her best friend in bed
I love these freak women
Something in my denim need a kiss, call it Gene Simmons
They wanna ban me like Marlyn Manson
For all the whores in my Baltimore, Maryland mansion
I'm the one who wants to Spear Brittany
Give pink some black put it near her kidneys (Here kitty)
I'm the one who always cause an affair
So every time your bitch burp, you smell my balls in the air
Yeah

Sex, and drugs, and dirty money
On the race to rule the world, you
Cut your teeth on fame and diamonds
Your time is up now
(Three, Two) one
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
(We number) one
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
(Whoa)

Yeah, yeah
See I'm a onstage rockstar
(Backstage pornstar)
Khloe on the Kar Dash'
(Kourtney on the on star)
Zoey Kravitz stumbling out the tele in a torn bra
(They dribble on my balls in the whip, now that's a sports car)
Dog, you gotta see him when he drive by
(Cock-eyed) Have all the Ladys goin' GaGa
Me? I'm on mellow, so I'm looking for a LaLa
(You sure? I wanna whore, a Gabor, a young Zsa Zsa
The one, a Outkast, I don't need the rock)
So I can put my Love Below by her Speakerbox
(The one, Katy Perry tried to kiss my wife)
And gave me dome and Katie's home, baby, this the life!

[Chorus]
