Lyrics
They call, they call me a junko
'Cause I'm loaded all the time
I don't use no reefer
I be knocked out when that engine whine
Six months, six months and no senno
And one year ain't no time
They got boys in penitentiary
Doing from nine to ninety-nine
I was standin', I was standin' on the corner
With my reefers in my hand
Up stepped the sergeant
Took my reefers out my hand
My brother, my brother used a needle
And my sister sniffed cocaine
I don't use no junk
I'm the nicest boy you ever seen
My mother, my mother she told me
And my father told me too
That that junk is a bad habit
Why don't you leave it too?
My sister she even told me
And my grandma told me too
That usin' junk partner
Was gon' be the death of you
