Lyrics Doing Dumb ShitO'Shea, O'Shea Get your ass in here, boy You hear me calling you? O'Shea
When I was young, I used to hang with the seventh graders Little bad motherfucker playing Space Invaders Fucking with the girls in the fourth grade Either feeling on they butts or pulling on they braids
Walking with the schoolhouse bully By doing that, I had a lot of pull, G Cheating on tests, making a mess Cussing like a sailor at recess
It must a been a half moon 'Cause you'll catch me running out the little girl's bathroom Chewing on Good and Plenties Got my gamble on at lunch pitching pennies
Yo, I was living like the class clown Pulling all the hokes, making all the jokes, man When you young it's hard to see That it's wrong throwing rocks at the RTD
Popping out your window with a BB gun Better yet knocking on your door and run Playing hide-and-go-get-it for a little stank Even though I was still shooting blanks
As soon as the dark hit I was stealing candy out the corner market Until I got my ass whipped 'Cause I was ten years old, doing dumb shit
Thirteen, that's how old I was When my jimmy started getting a little peach fuzz And I was looking at any butt and ass Me and my homies started cutting class
Going up to the high school Looking for any bitch I could lie to Tell 'em I was older than I really was Smoked my first joint and got really buzzed
That's what a mack's made of But when I got my first piece of pussy I fell in love Hard as a rock the long way And then I put the rubber on the wrong way
But I still gotta have it Overexcited and fucking like a jackrabbit Goddamn, I was hot A virgin but I still knew how to lay pipe
Even though the hoe worked me I still knocked the boots from here to Albuquerque Then the shit got strange money I started shaking and Jimmy felt funny
Then the nut came gushing I jumped up got dressed and start pushing 'Cause I thought the bitch broke my dick 'Cause I was still young doing dumb shit
At 17 got my first Volkswagon And mastered the life-long art of dragging To the women in college Hung out with the OG's and got some street knowledge
Breaking in cars and all that Hitting punk fools with a baseball bat Fucking at a real fast rate Till they said that I might not graduate
Then I said, "Fuck the dumb shit 'Cause Pops'll fuck me up quick" And things continued
So I start rapping about shit I been through And I got real good Now I look at all the kids in the neighborhood Trying to be baby macks Doing shit that I did seven years back
Going through a stage But before they can grow up they on the front page And they mommas is having a fit 'Cause they died young doing dumb shit |
