VERSE: 
       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

       Is churning with trash 
       I've got so much money 
       That I'm spending so fast

       I'll be sitting on the can 
       When the whip comes down 
 
 
VERSE: 
       Yeah, some called me garbage 
       While 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
