Don't get mad, 'cause i'm livin' in the gutter
I'll make you st-st-st-stutter
I said don't get up, get down,
I said don't get mad, 'cause i'm livin' in the gutter
I'm like flava flav
But i'm gonna for days
I said don't get mad 'cause i'm
Na na na na na
I said
4, 3, 2, whatcha gonna do
When r-note's coming through
With the whole crew
That's what i told her
I lied and said i was older
You know i'm hard like a boulder
You got me rollin' over
Like a four leaf clover
You got me bendin' over
And i'm feelin' kinda sober, like you
Another one up, another one down
Takes two, the track's spinning
'cause this is the sound
Don't get mad, 'cause i'm livin' in the gutter
I'll make you st-st-st-stutter
I said don't get up, get down,
I said don't get mad, 'cause i'm livin' in the gutter
I'm like flava flav
But i'm gonna for days
I said don't get mad 'cause i'm
Na na na na na
Same plain, lame runaway
I got the game, game
And your all the same like a chain gang
But should i stop it
'cause i'm rockin' it a little bit too hard
L-l-l-l-l-l-la la
So whatcha really got
Whatcha really not
Everything you front
Think you're really hot
Everything you are is just a plot
To top it off you gotta sit in my spot
Well that makes me really mad
What the bloodclot!
(and now, introducing the gayest man alive!)
Cash, money, bitches, power
Never drop soap in the prison shower
Not tonight you know what i said
'cause i'll be seein' all the honeys
And they know i'm playin'
Cash get the money
And the bitches
And the switches
And then sorry, mom
I ain't doin' the dishes, not tonight
You know what i'm sayin'
I'll be chillin' with the honeys
And i know how to play the game
So let me tell you story
'bout a girl i know
Who lost e'rrything she had
On a game of tic-tac-toe
And some are made to break
And some are made to last
Here's what i'm talking 'bout
Well, how hard's a johnstone?
Hard as a stone!
How hard's a johnstone?
Hard as a stone!
How hard's a johnstone?
Hard as a stone!
I said, johnstones
Hard as a rock, motherfucker
Don't get mad, 'cause i'm livin' in the gutter
I'll make you st-st-st-stutter
I said don't get up, get down,
I said don't get mad, 'cause i'm livin' in the gutter
I'm like flava flav
But i'm gonna for days
I said don't get mad 'cause i'm
Na na na na na
How hard's a johnstone?
Hard as a stone!
How hard's a johnstone?
Hard as a stone!
How hard's a johnstone?
Hard as a stone!
(mothafucka!)
How hard's a johnstone?
Hard as a stone!
How hard's a johnstone?
Hard as a stone!
How hard's a johnstone?
Hard as a stone!
Don't get mad, 'cause i'm livin' in the gutter
