I wish I could be considered
Frank O'Hara on his lunch break, permanently
Waxing poetic with dramatic sweeps
In my notebook on New York's streets
With Beatniks bumbling around
Fumbling with something aesthetic in their mouths
But really saying nothing
I think I'm invincible
At least on paper
But I'll probably amount to nothing
Cause we're just a bunch of foul-mouthed kids
Penning songs and talking shit
But, microphone check, when it's on, that's it
Cause we're the meanest business this side of New Orleans
Cause we're the meanest business this side of New Orleans
Cause we're the meanest business this side of New Orleans
So come on, Wayne, get at me
My hands are worn and sore
From ruthless wars of infinite attrition
So I labored through the conditions of my surrender
'I will never'
Cause this is mine and I won't let it die
I don't mince my words and you won't take me alive
Cause I shoulda died last summer anyway, so
What's there left to lose?
When we're just a bunch of foul-mouthed kids
Penning songs and talking shit
But, microphone check, when it's on, that's it
Cause we're the meanest business this side of New Orleans
Cause we're the meanest business this side of New Orleans
We're the meanest business this side of New Orleans
Yeah, yeah, come on Wayne, get at me
There's something to be said
About someone singing the words and actually meaning them
But I've got no one to impress
Cause all my heroes are dead
Yeah all my heroes are dead but
This is mine, and I won't let it die
I don't mince my words and you won't take me alive
Cause this is mine, and I won't let it die
I don't mince my words and you won't take me alive but
I got a little pride
Even if I can't be on Cash Money
Come on, Wayne, get at me
Come on, Wayne, get at me
Come on, Wayne, get at me
Come on, Wayne, get at me
Come on, Wayne, get at me
Come on, Wayne, get at me
Come on, Wayne, get at me now
