       I'm going down fifty-third street 
       And they're spitting in my face 
       I'm learning the ropes

VERSE: 
       Yeah, some called me garbage 
       While I was sleeping on the street 
       I never roll 
       And I never cheat

       I'm plugging a hole 
       My mama's so glad 
       I ain't on the dole
