lyrics

I was smoking on a roof
Taking in the view
Thinkin if this ain’t beautiful
Then what is to you?

(When) Kenny threw up a tall boy
So we drank another round
Hoping that shingle might get up
And nail itself down

It’s funny how money
Makes the rich man seem poor
When he needs something
More than he can afford
We do the work
He needs the work done
So pay us what it’s worth
Or we’ll take our tools and run

Ken used to work on the roof
Now he yells up from below
Ever since he fell off
& got knocked out cold

We lifted him with 2 by’s
Into my truck bed
& Raced him to the Doctor
To make sure he weren’t dead

Baby I’m poor
cuz I spend all I have
On port, pork & child support
before it touches the debt collectors hand
