Mama worries
Bout the dealer next door
Says it’s a matter of time
Before they wage a war
Which I believed, now he sells me weed
And I like Timmy whole lot more than before
& its the neighborhood we both can afford
I get home from work
My neighbors bitchin bout
Some young punk’s
Playing music loud
I nod to agree, then I stop to think
This is why they can’t price us out
& I like what I’m paying now
& We’ve got the lowest rent around
We’ve got the lowest rent in town
We’ve got the lowest rent around
So that kid better never turn his music down
We didn’t move here because we’re rich
I play music, baby sells vintage
We had choose it, we grew used to it
The trade of is I don’t work third shift, and sometimes kids steal our shit
& We’ve got the lowest rent around
We’ve got the lowest rent in town
We’ve got the lowest rent around
'Cuz the catalytic converters that we drive without
Every night here
Sounds like the 4th of July
But I've never seen
Fireworks in the sky
I hope that rich couple, doesn’t buy in
cuz I wanna live here for the rest of my life, maybe not forever but at least for a while
& We’ve got the lowest rent around
We’ve got the lowest rent in town
We’ve got the lowest rent around
So I hope that Timmy never sells out
