Oh, yeah! Uh!

He'll burn it down, that's what he'll do
The man is mad, he lost his head.
He'll paint this whole town red, oh yeah.
Let's get it right.
Rock rockin ball break art for art sake, oh, yeah.

Workin hard to stay alive
Can't slow down, can't stop
Stay on the move to keep on top, oh, yeah.

Yea, let's strike tonight.
Every night he rocks this place,
He balls the best, but never shows his face, oh, no.
Balls walls, burns a truck,
Balls a trian, don't give a fuck, no, no.
