Momma and Poppa told me I was crazy to stay I'd be gay in New York I was a fag in L.A. So I saved my money and I took a plane But wherever I go they treat me the same
But when the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down
I go to 53rd street and they spit in my face But I'm learning the ropes yeh I'm learning the trade The east river truckers are churning with trash I got so much money but I spend it so fast
When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the shit hits the fan I'll be sitting on the can When the whip comes down
Some call me garbage when I'm sweeping up the street But I never roll and I ain't never cheat I'm filling the need Yeh I'm plugging the hole My momma's so glad that I ain't on the dole
When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the shit hits the fan I'll be sitting on the can When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down I'll be running this town When the whip comes down Watch out baby
When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the whip comes down When the shit hits the fan I'll be sitting on the can When the whip comes down
