And doesn’t realize how good it is until Pancho has it

Fickle, fickle Man

They end up taking it all away just to complain about how bad they have it

Why is it that I’m working a crappy job for minimum wage

Come On, DAMNIT!
I'll bring it  H A R D, with everything I have
                                                                      I want to show racist America what I got
