Lyrics[]

    "-HEY YOU GUYS !!!"
    
    I turn around from whining sounds 
    Don't give us shit for making it 
    If your band's not signed, don't put us down! 
    Try playing hard, you stupid clown! 
    
    It's Poison with some different hair 
    It's crap that comes from everywhere 
    It's stupid, loser K-mart rap! 
    With more concern for coloured hair than music. 
    
    Wanna be a rock star! Have a limo with a juice bar! 
    With an undisputed killer for a girlfriend 
    So I guess I'd better 
    Spit it! Barf it! Spew it! Sell it! Roast it! Toast it! 
    
    Oats, peas, beans and barley will grow! 
    Why we sell nobody knows! 
    You can say just how you feel 
    But look who's got the record deal!
    
    "*Knock on the door* 
    -You are expecting a package!? You are expecting a delivery!? Special delivery for you sir! 
    -Thank you mister postal-men! 
    Whoa! Finally! My official boys in tha hood wallet chain! Now I can be hardcore like everybody else!"
