Steak knife, card shark

Con job, boot cut

Skin that flick, she's such a little DJ

Get there quick by street

but not the freeway

Turn that trick to make a little leeway

Beat that nic,

Pawn shop, quick pick

Kiss that dyke,

Not on strike but I'm about to bowl one

Bite that mic, I know you never stole one

Girls that like a story, so I told one
