## Lyrics

```
Holy smokes!
Fat Tony!
S. Reidy!
What tomfoolery could they concoct?
Take the beat away and all you gots a poet

<*(Fat Tony)*
Fistful of dollars
Dipped in the finest
Worked for it all
Got more to accomplish
Went from a dog to a wolf to a monster
Bite like a Rottweiler, no collar
Long time wanting out of squalor
Had a problem, and I had to solve it
Ain’t no way around it, was drowning
Now up for air cause I resolve it
All of it’s on you, little buddy
If it ain’t for you, don’t involve it
If it bore you, then keep snoring
And I’m on it cause I want it
I’m gonna get it, better read the credits
Create the lineage in the profеssion
Outta Henny, then it’s out of the quеstion
Packing pennies cause we in the recession
But need hookah if I got a section
In the cooler, got quite a selection
Of seltzers, Welch’s juices, melted
Ice and Bud Light til bro belching
It’s seldom that we get to celebrate it, but I felt this weekend was
The right time to show some love
Pick it up if you hear me buzz
You might also like

I think the TikTok kids gon dance to this one
I think the TikTok kids gon dance to this one
I hope the TikTok kids gon dance to this one
Cuz I gotta pay my rent (Wow!)

I think the TikTok kids gon dance to this one
I think the TikTok kids gon dance to this one
I hope the TikTok kids gon dance to this one
Cuz I gotta pay my rent (Wow!)

Overwhelmed and underdressed
Make the most of waking up because it sure beats being dead, I think
Write until I’m off the brink, I finish then I’m on again
Dressing trauma up in hooks that you can sing along with friends
Metaphysic medicine the answers in your outlet
My monarch make me turn it into coins for my house
And all the food that I eat, and I’ll all the places I sleep
Thank god my brain doesn’t work or I would starve in the street
It’s still beats me how I manage moving both of my feet
When the heart of this antithesis is anything but sorry
Beg your pardon, can I please have my mess and eat it too?
My crates have been let loose, and all my mantras weren’t true

I think the TikTok kids gon dance to this one
I think the TikTok kids gon dance to this one
I hope the TikTok kids gon dance to this one
Cuz I gotta pay my rent (Wow!)
I think the TikTok kids gon dance to this one
