Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, you on public assistance
Why don't you get a job?
Sell some dope and buy some pride
It's the only thing you couldn't rob
Socioparasite
Socioparasite
[Verse 2]
How does it feel to live for free?
Get off society's back
Skells like you allowed to live
You wonder why we're taxed?
Socioparasite
Socioparasite
[Verse 3]
Waste of life
You're a waste of life
[Verse 4]
Getting fucked up on Classon Avenue
Smoking crack and drinking booze
Spike in your arm, no money for food
But there's plenty of gas in your BMW
There's a drug whore waiting at home
Dealing this shit on the telephone
Poor Tawana's got a birth defect
But it only increases your welfare check
[Verse 5]
Been doing some thinking, I have an answer
To arrest the spreading cancer
Send you back to where you're from
Get the fuck rid of you subhuman scum
If you don't pay taxes, you shouldn't vote
So get in line and get on the boat
I'd love to tear down all the projects
Kiss my ass, home relief reject
[Verse 6]
Waste of life
You're a waste of life
Waste of life
You're a waste of life
