Cut Rate


We deal in half-the-price knock-offs,
we deal in less-than authenticity
We deal in brand name imitations,
we're a cut-rate company, y'see

We got those faux designer items,
we got those off-seam irregularities
We got those cheap generic products,
we peddle only second-best quality

If you can't afford the real thing,
and you need a substitute instantly
Then get off the couch
and dial these digits
Get on the phone and come talk to me

I'm your intrepid guide
into the world of the half-genuine
Giving you the inside skinny
on the not-original retail grapevine

Three easy payments
is all you're gonna need
to keep your shaky credit clear and free

Once the deal is done,
celebrate with some low priced bubbly
Courtesy of your favorite cut-rate company

Ty for wise observation, Illustrious One. Just poking fun at the wild consumerism of American culture. They have stuff to sell even to the have nots. I often time use humor to make a point when I'm discussing a serious issue. I try to make you laugh first, before I make you cry. Y'know, the kiss before the kick. Much love, bruh.
