about

A song about attitude.

lyrics

Cruisin’ down the freeway, tokin’ on a fattie,
Gotta piggy in my rearview, thinkin’ I’m a baddie,
‘Cause I got no hair and a real greasy smile,
And I got all the licks that drive the chicks wild.
Drive the chicks wild.

Used to have long hair, but I shaved it all off,
‘Cause it got too hot and I got too soft.
So now I’m bald and shiny like a new baby’s heinie,
But don’t count me out, ‘cause my dreams ain’t tiny.
And I believe in God, but not the one you think.
My sacrament’s got a real funky stink ,
And as I get older, I just keep gettin’ bolder,
So don’t fuck with me, ‘cause I’m a holy roller.
I’m a holy roller

I like to wear black just like Johnny Cash,
‘Cause when you were all black, your colors don’t clash,
With the hipsters and the hangers and the local gangbangers,
The suits with their ties and the piggies with their angers.
And I used to hang out with the crackheads and the hos,
But I left it all behind me ‘cause it caused too many woes,
So it’s just like I told her when I gave her the cold shoulder,
“Max don’t play that, ‘cause I’m a holy roller”.
I’m a holy roller

I might be old school and I ain’t got a lot.
I might be old school, but I got what I got.
I might be old school, but my music’s still hot.
I know who I am and I know who I’m not,
‘Cause I’m a holy roller.

I might be old school, but I’m still alive.
I might be old school, but I still got my drive.
I might be old school, but I’m gonna thrive.
Don’t hand me no lip and I’ll give you no jive.

I try not to judge, I try not to hate,
‘Cause what goes around, comes around, you make your own fate.
My rhymes might be funny, but my outlook ain’t sunny,
And don’t try to squeeze me ‘cause I ain’t got no money, honey.
My face ain’t pretty and my body ain’t hunky,
But my riffs are tight and my beats are funky.
So if your nights are gettin’ colder and you need a strong shoulder,
Then come to me, baby, ‘cause I’m a holy roller.
I’m a holy roller.
