Lyrics:

under hesitant flicker of neon glow

where the trash cans bloom and the needles grow

i wiped that shit off my mouth and i grabbed the dough

(and that's all y'all need to know)

let the glitter of the burning debris bless me tonight

is what I thought, and inhaled nicotine delight

screams for my life- scripted by deal memos

from the back of a bullet-proof-steel limo

it ain't nothin in my life that's been real gentle

til the day of your magnificent beer swindle

told my story

you didn't look at my funny

and the kiss felt like you was payin me money

c'mon, holla at ya dog

c'mon, holla at ya dog

i must a missed yo call

c'mon

they said the sparkle in your eyes

was just cuz of the daggers

if they wanted us to leave they was gon have to drag us

skyscrapers crowded round to watch

as we laughed at the faulty perception of clocks

every 43 bus stop on Foothill could testify

your middle finger in the air was like blessin the sky

and the overpass

it shook like a overdose

and the rocks caught the holy ghost

and the wind made the chain-links sing falsetto

we made a promise we would never settle

standin on a hydrant

you declared it a holiday

against police and pimps we would have our way

c'mon, holla at ya dog

c'mon, holla at ya dog

i must a missed yo call

c'mon

the room and that dude had layers of filth

we sprinted out with the cash and got higher than stilts

i wondered if the birds were flyin to somethin

or flyin away

you said "both"

and hit the E & the J

now, the stars up there are for the few who use em

we karate'd down the block like the new solution:

street-level, eye-level, make your wish

you told me i could write a novel and make us rich

that's the last time i seen your crazy brown high-beams

i'm still in front of that buildin with the white screen

stop through for a hot second

holla back

i don't even want my fifty dollars back

c'mon, holla at ya dog

c'mon, holla at ya dog

i must a missed yo call

c'mon
