Jewelry

[Verse 1]

I never really understood a man's jewelery

You sooner see me on some Karaoke super freak

With a peace sign sweater and some Hammer pants

Windows up, smoking weed in the ambulance

Hopped out, 1988 battle stance

Neighborhood started to dance and made it avalanche

Nobody got hurt, just lots of dirt

Did the Michael Jackson kick and took off my shirt

Broken wings coming out of my shoulder blades

Poker face, hitting switches on my roller-skates

Making soup out of Couscous and Froot Loops

Moon walking down the block rocking some moon boots

They don't know my name, I'm not that guy

But they point and smile because I'm that fly

Any day I get to stay way from bloodshed

Becomes another night I get to ride into the sunset

Traded in a horse for a bike

So wave if you happen to see me on the South Side

With a boom box strapped to my handle bars

Zoom homie, take a bath in some caviar

Getting drunk in the woods smoking a ci-gar

Sitting on the hood of your car playing the gui-tar

Face painted up to look like a circus clown

Lookin around like everything's perfect now

Match strike and light them candles

Hold onto it, grab tight, a hand full

You might be right, we might be assholes, shit

We from the land of the ice-cream castles

I never could fake respect

What's it gonna take to make all them dots connect

I must be old cause you look like a fool to me

I never really understood a man's jewelery
