Chump Change
Don't let other people play you for a chump
Change that
If you got wolves seeing you walk around,
looking like a tasty chicken drumstick
You need to change that ... change it real quick
Chumps tend not to make it to mature adult age;
they crumble easily,
like a week old, stale coffee cake
Every time a grifter sees you, they start to salivate
You're everyone's free meal ticket,
the free ride that never comes late
Don't be a chump,
you got to change that
Let them know
you're hip to what they're trying to do
Squash any thoughts
of someone trying to play you
Don't be nobody's fool
But still be yourself:
Be as kind as you can possibly be,
just don't be a sucker getting licked constantly
So don't be a chump,
definitely change that
Blink once when you see the con coming,
and boy you just lost your shirt and your hat
Don't be a chump,
change it
Exchange the marked bill
If you don't let them chump you,
you can bet somebody else will
