|
| And at the time I was a check forger for the rest of the league got on the
|
| check forgin' game
|
| And he was just a Christian nigga, he wanted everything to go right
|
| Fucked around and, I fell in love with him and got a job at McDonald’s,
|
| Road for four dollars and twenty-seven cents an hour
|
| I’m like, «Who the fuck do this shit?»
