Stripped down to my skin and my bones I love huskies but I feel like a wolf (howl!) In a pack but I feel all alone I'm scatterbrained, man, better offer the clon' In Tejas apartments with racists doin' weird shit Like, this'll make the biopic (haha) Rile 'em up, hit Zaxby's, get the wing and tings (yum) Real quick, bills still stackin' to the ceilin' (uh-oh) Whatchu mean, it ain't workin'? (what?) Whatchu mean, you ain't findin' yourself? (oh, I am, I'm tryin') Whatchu mean, you ain't got no cash? (I got a little bit) Whatchu mean? Whatchu mean? Shouldn't your pockets be big just like a fat chick? (uh-huh) Shouldn't your mama be done payin' the house off? (I guess) Shouldn't you have a real big-ass ego? (no) Shouldn't these girls be flockin' just like seagulls?
