Lyrics
I lost my cherry on a side street
To a dirty little woman in the back seat
I was young and wet behind my ears
Well I'm fuckin' stupid beyond my years
Rollin in the sticky
Rollin in the Benz
Been stealin all your women since I don't know when cuz
I got to put the hammer down
I was strung out on a heroin kick
With the cops and the government on my dick
I was lookin' out the window for the FBI
With my pipe and a needle just a tryin to get high
The white coat president on my hands
Every twenty five seconds I make thirty five grand cuz
I got to put the hammer down
