Sucka Stand Up (Intro)

I used to give a fuck, but
Lately I’ve been given up
And I gotta say that I feel fine
Molly and red wine have
Got me singing, “it’s alright, man,
It’s alright now.”
And, “is this really something we should fight about, man?”
It’s been a month, how come I haven’t heard from you?
Man, I don’t just do shit because you tell me too.
And it’s been a month how come I haven’t heard from you?
Man, I don’t just do shit because you told me too.
I got a gun in the car and scrambled eggs on a plate
That I left by your beside, ‘cause I wanted to say,
That I’m screwed if I don’t and I’m screwed if I do, so I’m going.
So I’m going.

I’m just a no good ruffian,
Never done anything right kind of kid
With a view like a bandit from the bottom of the world
Ashing my blunt wraps curled
As I talk to my mom on a Blackberry Pearl
That I stole from the Verizon Store
And I was being nice before
But now the fun is over, this is revolution I’m sure.
I’m just a drop-out, burn-out, nothing to write home about
Middleclass, skinny-ass, acting like a punk-ass half-a-pack smoker
After class dope toker with a Brookes Brothers button-down
I haven’t washed in weeks now
Son, this shit is just begun
Expect more as soon as all my friends are grown up and living in suburbia,
We’ll still be strung out, driving down the Drag now,
I hope I’m not disturbing ya’
And we had plans, but man, you went to Texas Tech
And spent the first semester dropping acid like an Aztec
And I went out of state, but man it’s okay
It’s all okay
We’re just dumb kids anyway
Oooh I swear I’m fine
So don’t you waste my time
I’m no kind of kid who does what he’s asked to
And I swear I’m fine
So don’t you waste my time
I’m no kind of kid who does what he’s asked to
And I swear I’m fine
So don’t you waste my time
I’m no kind of kid who does what he’s asked to do
5 o’clock, after school, we’re sparking up
9 o’clock we’re starting up
1 o’clock we’re getting drunk
And you got right, like we hadn’t
You’re driving us south like you’re throwing a mallet
And we got the 40s from Catherine,
Cause the party don’t stop just cause some fuckers had it.
Man, I left your 30 milligrams of Ritalin in the minivan
Afraid of spilling, higher than fucking Lhasa boss ya’
Understand me clearly? Ooh I know you feel me
Let’s buy some more cigarettes, forgot I wasn’t finished yet
Forgot why I smoke this shit in the first place,
It’s keeping me from your place,
It’s keeping me out of date, just say it,
I’m just a no good ruffian,
Never done anything right kind of kid
With a view like a bandit from the bottom of the world
Ashing my blunt wraps curled
As I talk to my mom on a Blackberry Pearl
It’s sick; watch us fighting in the street lights
Think about the revolution on the coffee table’s white lines, man,
Let’s go surfing and smoking I can’t fix this mess
Fuck the test I’ll take a make-up, fuck the make-up I need rest
I got some problems, I know,
I want to be a punk and I want to get stoned,
Let’s go to the ocean, fuck the ‘rents man go to Negril
I want to be kid man I won’t never be killed
I want to be a kid man I won’t never be killed
I want to be a kid and I won’t never be killed
And I said Ooh I swear I’m fine
So don’t you waste my time
I’m no kind of trouble for you
And I swear I’m fine
So don’t you waste my time
I’m no kind of trouble for you
And all my friends are fine
So don’t you waste my time
And I swear I’m fine
So don’t you waste my time
I’m no kind of kid who does what he’s asked to do.

Young sons smoke trees
Got nothing on but some blue jeans
Got everybody saying
Fuck man he didn’t pay-o
Just up and let go
Cause you know me and the people
We got some shit we can trip man I wish I was gonna go
Down to the deli where the clean kids kiss each other
I’m puffing on a peace pipe, from New Mexico,
You know what that’s like.
And I strip reeds in the backs of Humvees
Frat rats relax playing the nights attacks back
I don’t want to do shit
Bought some 5 dollar acid from an Indian kid
And it’s like ohohoh man it takes me up
Where I want to go, where I want to go
I said oh ohohoh, man it takes me up
Where I need to go, where I need to go
Smoked greens in high school and fucking made straight B’s
Smoked greens in college and probably making straight C’s
Too high to worry that I’m fucked,
Got some chronic in the trunk pop it up, pop it up, pop it up
Over the years, stolen beers from the grocery stores,
Gotten odd dudes to do it, used my card, though it’s poorly made
Ending with lemonade at the country club while feeling ashamed
Ame’s shadely rocking the polo she bought me
The little things add up and I feel like an unworthy
Jerk smoking mad weed, chilling with the soccer team
And middle-class-joke-trying-to-be-gansta-quite-preppily
Dudes in the hood who can answer “What’s good?”
And are down to drop now, don’t care if they should be
Or something, don’t ask me, I’m just some kid in the crowd
Trying too hard to be. Cool.
And it’s like ohohoh man it takes me up
Where I want to go, where I want to go
I said oh ohohoh, man it takes me up
Where I need to go, where I need to go
Call me the Tarrytown kid,
That’s where I’m from, I don’t care
Man, understand, I’m no kind of trouble for you
And darling I’d pick up and help you,
But I can’t stop myself,
But I can’t stop myself,
Oooh I want to love you,
But you should know,
I’m not what you need
She said oooh I want to love you
But you should know,
I’m not what you need
And oooh I want to love you
But I know,
I’m not what you need
And oooh I want to love you
But you should know,
I’m not what you need.

Let’s go to Port Aransas
Turn in the troubles by the shore
Young sons smoke soviet and they drink til they’re poor
Feels like I’m trying so hard to make this easier
Let’s go to Port Aransas
Turn in the troubles by the shore
Young sons smoke soviet and they drink til they’re poor
Feels like I’m trying so hard to make this easier
And she thinks she wants me there,
She just can’t be sure
All of the sons in the school heard it before
My Stella Artois is a joke next to his Dom Perignon
Still I’m singing, “baby, tell me why, you got me waking up at night?”
Oh honey can’t you see, the things you do to me
And then you turn and go away to where the other brother be
But I’m singing let’s go to Port Aransas
Turn in the troubles by the shore
Love and a cigar left burnt on the floor
feels like I’m trying so hard but it’s not easier
Yo who got this son back on, gold pagers, exon
Snapbacks figi frat shit texting “where the slay is at?”
Kids, she’s givin it a try, while me and Grahamy just get high
Driving back home, the cover’s blown how fast was it, man I don’t know say
Officer, don’t put me in no car
My house isn’t a mile from where we are, I swear to god
Oh no don’t put me in that car, don’t put me in that car, oh no, oh no
Somewhere some are lovers, sons smoke spliffs with open shutters
In this town where roughneck suckas sing
And you can come and take me, but I doubt you could make me
I’m holding out for something better is the thing, but darling
Chorus
Third line: Everyone’s knows that it was better before
Still feels like I’m trying too hard to make this easier.

Kids these days, they hate those questions
Kids these days they’re all just testing
The nerves of the clerks
they all have sex in the dressing rooms stalls
Puff that magic dragon
I couldn’t give a shit about no Osama trauma
Or whatever that is, just stop the feds burning the ganja
Your mama wanna tell you I’m a goner
Cause I’m always fucking up and causing all the drama
Did you see Louie’s kid brother flipping shit like a tire
And chasing me in boat shoes cause I stole his Stolichnaya?
Baby I want you, but I can’t have you
And I want nothing but I wanna have shit too
I don’t want to try but I want to be something
Get sobered up man your parents are coming
She said, “I’m mostly kidding, I actually hate tits,
got texas tattoos, shrooms, and plagiarized papers.”
Said call me if you ever want some addy or a ride back home
I think I’m giving up and I’m giving in too
I’ll get the money, you’ll see, not gonna fall through
And we’re all growing older, but dear, we’re growing up too
And I don’t mind wasting my time when it’s with you
Kids these days, they probably can’t stand you
Fresher than the better had a moment to stand up to
Puffing on something I probably can’t get into
Wishing that she liked him, wish she didn’t like you
Big Brother’s rolling at the Parkway Market
Rolling up young’uns done E in the park shit
Spliffs in the car, try to get shit started
At all of the bars but we’re always getting carded
Where breaking the rules gets one called a young son
At family dinners, the winners get pardoned
And the other one gets whatever was coming
From being a punk hoping the ladies find it charming
All the kids with money just don’t know where any weed is
And the ones that do are sick of you or forgot what your name is
Drunk driving in the rain back to the places and the faces of home
So pick up the phone man
I think I’m giving up and I’m giving in too
I’ll get the money, you’ll see, not gonna fall through
And we’re all growing older, but dear, we’re growing up too
And I don’t mind wasting my time when it’s with you
I’m giving up and I’m giving in too
I’ll get the money, you’ll see, not gonna fall through
And we’re all growing older, but dear, we’re growing up too
And I don’t mind wasting my time when it’s with you.
