lyrics

i woke up quick
at about noon
i just thought
that i had to be in little five points soon
i got to got to get drunk before the day begins
before your girlfriend starts bitchin about my friends
i hopped into my ride
and i hit the road
but before i left
i turned on
the radio was playing all the saints by all the saints
then i played my own shit it went something like this

i pulled up to aurora
it was 1:04
i sneaked around back to the other side
and cashed my check at the liquor store
i bought a pack of cigarettes
and a pint of thoroughmore
then it was 1:15
i bought a bag of lazer beans
then i smiled at vagina's eyes
and co-co's thighs and realized
this town is a bunch of jerks
but the pharmacy has got the works

so i went
down to cabbagetown
just to see
what was really goin down
although it's not the bluff
i know where to go they got the same old stuff
i gave all my dough to the pusher man
then she turned around and slapped my hand
then i bundled up
it was a hot-ass day
but before i left
i just had to look both ways
cuz if it ain't the heat then it's the 30 deep
but they in the same gang when they let they nuts hang

everywhere i hang
it's always the same thang
or some girls that i used to bang
she gave me her number i'd forgotten her name
she gave me her heart and i just tore it apart
and so in these modern times
it's hard to find a victimless crime
