Just like the girlies back at corner store
Wash my bugle boy a watching my throne
Sweet mutilation of a sold to nothing man
Lord have mercy shake is falling through your hand
Razz the kid
Because she love me I'm the chosen one
These are the days to not be having fun
I listen back to what you told me before,
Just tell me where to come, I'll knock down the door
Razz the kid
Razz the kid
Razz the kid
Razz the kid
Razz the kid

I am attracting attention from women just like the way young lads attract girls around the corner store.

Wash my bugle boy a watching my throne
My servant is keeping watch over my seat of power.

Because she love me I'm the chosen one
I feel special and chosen because a girl loves me.

These are the days to not be having fun
This is a serious time and there's no time for fun and games.

I listen back to what you told me before,
I reflect on the advice you gave me earlier.

Just tell me where to come, I'll knock down the door
If you want me to come, just tell me where and I'll power through any obstacles to get there.

Razz the kid
Tease and provoke the young one.
