Yeah, mama and papa told me
|
I was crazy to stay
|
I was gay in New York
|
A fag in L.A.
|
So I saved my money
|
And I took a plane
|
Wherever I go they treat me the same
|
When the whip comes down
|
When the whip comes down
|
When the whip comes down
|
When the whip comes down
|
I'm going down fifty-third street
|
And they're spitting in my face
|
I'm learning the ropes
|
Yeah I'm learning a trade
|
The east river truckers
|
Are churning with trash
|
I make so much money
|
That I'm spending so fast
|
When the whip comes down
|
When the whip comes down
|
When the whip comes down
|
When the whip comes down
|
When the shit hits the fan
|
I'll be sitting on the can
|
When the whip comes down
|
Yeah, some called me garbage
|
When I was sleeping on the street
|
I never roll
|
And I never cheat
|
I'm filling a need
|
I'm plugging a hole
|
My mama's so glad
|
I ain't on the dole
|
When the whip comes down
|
When the whip comes down
|
When the whip comes down
|
When the whip comes down
|
(Yeah, go ahead check it out)
|
Yeah, baby, when the whip comes down
|
When the whip comes down
|
(I'll be running this town, I'll tell you)
|
When the shit hits the fan
|
I'll be sittin on the can
|
