After School Special
Uncle Kracker

You know they call off your signature

You pay extra for that


It started out in 84 for me

Had them beat street blues and no crews to compete

'Cause you were too fuckin' dumb, nobody gave a fuck

Poppin' and lockin' and we couldn't be touched


I grew up in dem days when graffiti was the ways

The close-minded people thought rap was the phase

'Cause it was a phase, maybe a fad for some

But for the few who knew it was true and we was one


Dumb was the lingo and def was phat

If you were dope you were fresh, if you wasn't you was whack

In fact it was crews like Run that had style

Shit like that made it all worth while


And I ain't even one to ponder

Be it known as I've grown I've be comproned to wander

And ramble like gamble, you lost your ass

You went from Jersey to Vegas and back to Cass


Outta cash and then you was fuckin' wasted

Broke as fuck you were livin' in your mom and pops basement

Yeah, I was faceless, poor and unknown

All that runnin' just to crawl back home


You dumb fuck, what the fuck were you thinkin'?

Suicide doors on a '67 Lincoln

I had big dreams of runnin' on big screens

Topless swim teams all up in the limousines


Magazines with my face on the cover

I was trying to get rich quick like my older brother

I was the other, the younger of two

The quiet little kid and my friends were few


Well of course they were few 'cause you had no dough

Them rats run fast when the cheese don't show

You know a little money lets you place your bet

Makes a good girl wet, makes a friend forget


They like it when you spend a little

They love it when you spend a lot

They love me for me, just me, I think not

How could you be so goddamn dumb?

You need to take your punk ass back to where it came from


I ain't that dumb but this ain't Mary Poppins

How many times must I give you your options?

Happy, humble, famous or rich

You only get two and only you can pick



Well, I pick going back to my old school

Grabbin' that teacher that made me a fool

Beat his fuckin' ass with a baseball bat till there ain't nothing left

What ch'you think about that?


You mean the football coach that had no life

The five day beard and a ugly ass wife

Yeah, I'd like that but what would it prove

Half them teachers never had one clue


They punked me out because they flunked life's test

Them broke mother fuckers couldn't spell success

There's character flaws up in front of the class

Make a kid sweat bullets for a bathroom pass


They used to tell me I'd amount to shit

But now I got accounts that tell me I'm rich

It sounds sick all the money I make

I get it all having learned from your dumb mistakes


Well, it's about fuckin' time, you came to your senses

I thought I was going to have to dig through the trenches

Yeah, I'm relentless, it's for our own good

Are you listening? Yeah, motherfucker, you should


I think I've been good with the rules they gave me

I just bent them a little with the tools they gave me

They can't save me, I saved myself

How does one dumb kid build a mountain of wealth?


How does it feel when you can't say no

When you want something so bad you can't let go?

How do you know when enough is enough

When you're the last motherfucker that can still stand up?


I'm not a slug but you'd put one in the head

Put a fucker on his back and leave him for dead, uhh

How 'bout a knife, could you stick one in his side

Give it a couple fuckin' turns and let him die?


Could you hide from a crew? Could you lie through a crew?

Could you knock it all back with a couple of brews?

And could you be a man and carry his casket?

Would you sit like a bitch while you're gettin' your ass kicked?


How 'bout molasses, are you that slow?

You give a frogs fat ass if you win place or show

I keep on keepin' on that's true

And when it's done I can say I gave a fuck, can you?
