VERSE 1:
- What am I going to do?
- The rent is overdue!
- God, I guess it's over to you
- I could beg, borrow, or steal
- Take it to court
- Try to appeal
- But you've got to be real
- Like that guy from Cypress Hill
- Times are ill
- Before I do something stupid I should write my will
- I need to smoke something
- Try to chill
- Now I'm thinking:
- In prison they supply the meals
- No gas, no electric, or water bills
- Fuck it
- I'm cracking open a host of peels
- As low as I feel?
- I could rob a little kid's piggy bank
- Scrap the plate down to the last milligram
- On the realy, fam
- I'm in a tight squeeze
- Have you got a little spliff of weed that I could buy please?
- Ayo, I'll pay you later
- Why're you fronting?
- Don't be a player hater
- When I blow I'll be making crazy paper!
CHORUS:
- No money for food?
- You start thinking crazy
- The rent is overdue?
- You start thinking crazy
- Bailiffs at your door?
- You start thinking crazy
- You're sick of being this poor?
- You start thinking crazy
- When your pockets are broke
- You start thinking crazy
- Your money went up in smoke?
- You start thinking crazy
- Up to your neck in debt?
- You start thinking crazy
- The landlord came to collect?
- You start thinking crazy
VERSE 2:
- They say I'm cashing cheques
- And I'll be pushing the bimmer next
- I've got a push-bike, blud
- I'll push a BMX
- So if you see me vexed
- It's 'cause my money's short
- There's not enough noughts on this cheque
- I need a couple more!
- Surviving in the tin cans out the cupboard door
- Bunning draw
- Just to deal with the rugged, raw, situation
- This is going to take a team effort
- If all else fails I'll turn to extreme measures
- Ain't nothing sweet, fellas
- We've got to eat
- Let us load up the heat and go wave it at some bank tellers
- For a bag of Cheddars
- I know you man are jealous
- We're all sick to the stomach like we've got Salmonella
- I'm looking at my bank balance like "It's now or never"
- You know the taxman is out to get you?
- And I'm going to bet you
- That when your stomach's touching your ribs
- You'll suddenly switch
- It's about to get ugly kids!
CHORUS
VERSE 3:- So now it's time to start pulling out the long straps
- Sawn-offs and all that
- Gats and baseball bats
- Black hoodies and baseball caps
- Real low
- Bandanas wrapped round the face so nobody'll know
- Let's go
- Natwest, HSBC, Abbey National
- Halifax or the Barclays?
- It's all the same to me
- Yeah, I know I'm a novice
- But anyone can pull a toaster in the post office
- Balaclavaed up
- Celebrate down the pub
- Lagered up
- Go to West-end clubs and large it
- Plus treat yourself to some things
- Live like a king
- Buy your wife some bling
- I know she'd like a diamond ring
- But the police must of traced the notes
- Now they're knocking on my door
- There's no place to go!
- I'm out the back door
- Over the wall, into the next road
- They're already there
- I'm surrounded by 5-0
