Songtexte

[Verse 1]
Well, here comes Jumbo with the phone in his hand
Bet it's been awhile since you seen a real man
Grown up strong on the fat of the land of the free
Sure, I guess he got off to a hell of a start
With his grandpa's money and his daddy's heart
But you oughta know privileged is a pretty hard thing to be
[Verse 2]
You know?
[Verse 3]
Whoa, here comes Jumbo with a knife and a tan
And an elephant's tail for his Instagram
Grown up brave on the fat of the land of the free
See the twinkle in his eye like a torch in the dark
On a court-approved stroll through the city park
Whistlin' to you purebreds, gonna bark
At my theme song, goes a little somethin' like
[Verse 4]
Here Jumbo, American as gumbo
Skin white as new corn liquor, hair black as molasses rum, though
He ain't dumb, no, you elitist bums, go
Get yourselves off of Capitol Hill
'Cause we've just about had our fill
Of y'all playin' Columbo
[Verse 5]
When anyone can tell
That good ole Jumbo
Was only tryna help
(Only tryin' to help)
Aw, help us out with one now, Jumbo
[Verse 6]
Here comes Jumbo, American as gumbo
Washed in the blood of the little man singin' fee-fi-fo-fum-bo
Till his kingdom comes, so you elitist bums can go
Fuck yourselves off of Capital Hill
'Cause we've just about had our fill
Wonderin' what is and isn't rigged
When there's all these unadopted kids
Ready to swim across the Bering Sea
To feast on the fat of the land of the free
They're twiddlin' their thumbs, though
While y'all play Columbo
With poor ole Jumbo
