Ooh
You thought I was down and out
Yeah
Oh yeah
You thought I was-
Thought I was down and out
Oh yeah
I was down on the corner, out on the street
Now that I'm dripping in water, I just be stacking the beans
My back against the wall, I'm back on my bullshit, yeah
Oh my God, I have no options
You thought I was down, down on the corner, out on the street
Now that I'm dripping in water, I just be stacking the beans
My back against the wall, I'm back on my bullshit, yeah
You thought I was down and out
But they'll never keep me down
All they ever really wanna do is keep me down
Stack it to the ceiling like a evening gown
Never believed, they believin' now
It's hard to believe 'til we leave town
I think they know deep down
That they'll never keep me down
All they ever really wanna do is keep me down, yeah
I, I thought I was down and out
I, I thought I was down and out
Down on the corner, out on the street
Now that I'm dripping in water, I just be stacking the beans
My back against the wall, I'm back on my bullshit, yeah
Oh my God, I ain't have no options
You thought I was down, down on the corner, out on the street
Now that I'm dripping in water, I just be stacking the beans
My back against the wall, I'm back on my bullshit, yeah
You thought I was down and out, yeah, yeah
You thought I was-
You know that I was down for you
But you was out here talkin'
Yeah, you thought I was down, you thought I was down
You the kinda clown, fuck the right amounts
Walk out on, walk out on me
I was never down, unless it's just-
Down on the corner, out on the street
Now that I'm dripping in water, I just be stacking the beans
My back against the wall, I'm back on my bullshit, yeah
Oh my God, oh my God
You thought I was down, down on the corner, out on the street
Now that I'm dripping in water, I just be stacking the beans
My back against the wall, yeah
I'm back on my bullshit
