Be stupid so she can get out my face i spit in everybody

brush your teeth say its you go to the grocery and buy
condiments pepper and salt dont you see what they are
doing she gave it back to you whatever you did tell him you

teeth i felt i was gone faint i dont want to be in nothing
but drugs with my cousin probably died break in the
