[Intro]
Uh! Chop!
[Verse 1]
Here comes the kid, Mr Slick and Shady
He said he has a way with every lady
His pants are high above his ankles
He wearing tattoos of a dozen bengals
He put no shoes on (unintelligible)

He dancing, knows the words to make the play
He said, don’t go to work (pissed off)

Turning me off (badly)
You’re turning me off (badly)

I don't like what you're sayin'
Take out the trash (don't be so bad)
I don't like what you're sayin'
Go dig your ditch, you make me sick
I'm tired of you dogging me
Shut up your face, you're out of place
I'm saying but are you watching us
dadano dadano dada no

You look at me like you're pretend your lonely
I don’t care what you say it’s fake, it’s phony
Sometimes I really think I'm seeing double
Dyslexic vision, mind’s in trouble
