lyrics

I’ve been pushing rope and chasing fast women / I’ve been shooting dope and making my living / hitting that tail end of the week / keeping it real every time I speak / copping that feel on a deadend street / lining up them rails just to stay on my feet / I’ll give you a deal, boys, that can’t be beat

Slinging my six when the tongue wags / sitting on the fix with the ziplock bags / moving that powder, Miss Molly Forenow / king of the hour’s gonna show you how / more superman power than the law allows / don’t take it like a coward / gotta stand up proud / bath-salts on the sour make you shout out loud

Keep the motor running in case the police come / you’re purring and a’humming and I’m almost done / make more money if you know my name / they’ll play you for a honey if you’re in the game / it stops being funny when the trick’s the same / it’s pull over, Johnny out geeking in the rain / they’ll give you what you need or they’ll give you away
