Verse 1
You got a fast
car.
I want a ticket to a

Maybe we make a

I got a plan to get
us out of here:

Managed to save just

Just across the bord

You and I can b

And finally see what
it means to be living.

Verse 3
You see my old
man's got a problem:
He live with the bot

He says his bod

His body's too young

My mama went of

I said, "Somebody's
got to take care of him."
So I quit school an
d that's what I did.
