Slacker, a person who shirts his work or duty

A person who evades military service in the wartime

I know one thing, man, I'm gonna have my kicks

Before the whole shit house goes up in flame

You know what I'm sayin'?

Eat, drink and be merry, tomorrow you may die

That's what life's about, man, good times, a little salad

Yo yo, I'm a product of reaganomics, neurotic

They sayin' homage is gone up, inhaling chronic

The oddest I'm stayin' honest, I'm 'bout to make it famous

So you can take that J O B and you can shove it up your anus

I ain't never understood how the world works

But I always understood why the girls twerk

For a baller not a 9 to 5

Barely makin' it with disgust behind your eyes

So I just, grip my piece, rip off fleece

Out to take your lip off chief, with my peeps

We ruthless, if you got money then deuce it

Goofs get toothless, with loose off 2 fifths, we useless

I wanna kick it but ain't got the dough

Sneak in the concert, trip and make 'em stop the show

We gots to go, push me and I sock the po'

Gettin' the bail from my parents is impossible

(I'm a slacker)

Never did I have a lotta dough

(I'm a slacker)

Smoking pot and watching videos

(I'm a slacker)

Go whichever way the wind blows

Those just tuning in, I'm just lettin' you know

(I'm a slacker)

Every time I take a look around

(I'm a slacker)

Stuck up on the faces around

(I'm a slacker, I'm a slacker, I'm a slacker)

I don't do enough, I just fool around

Y'all can go to hell, how does that sound?

Now you can tell by my everyday fits, I ain't rich

I sneak with a piece when I grit

I'm just another gat man caught up in the mix

Tryna take your dollar and your 15 cents, I grind with a pistol

I stay rid of you lames, y'all gay, I play video games all day

When Kans City Mo brangs, it's gritty slow game

We diddy-bop with really no change, y'all pay

And people holla, "How you do that there

"Why your pants hanging low, and why you grew that hair?"

Lightin' a bleezle or with my people ridin' a Regal

Always in trouble with coppers 'cause we drivin' illegal

I ain't never givin' them lee-way to hear me nay

The judicial assembly's gay hey

I come out at night 'cause I sleep all day

Tryin' get with Def Jam, Loud or MCA

(I'm a slacker)

Never did I have a lotta dough

(I'm a slacker)

Smoking pot and watching videos

(I'm a slacker)

Go whichever way the wind blows

Those just tuning in, I'm just lettin' you know

(I'm a slacker)

Every time I take a look around

(I'm a slacker)

Stuck up on the faces around

(I'm a slacker, I'm a slacker, I'm a slacker)

I don't do enough, I just fool around

Y'all can go to hell, how does that sound?

Yo yo check

Get to the party and my homies got to pay for me

Holidays them just be another day for me

Gettin drunk, hopin' I get to the crib safely

Pray for me, 'cause I'm needin' money majorly

Sit at home watchin' MTV with a empty

Never buy it, don't deny it, I'm the fear I'ma be

You say get a job? I say hit a knob

'Cause the way you run the world is every bit a fraud

So what you askin' me? You get no tax from me

I got whites, natives, and Mexicans, and blacks with me

I'm tryin' get up there with Master P, pass the D

'Cause that's the way it has to be

We bust to be free, we trust to be G

So fuck who be glee, it sucks to be me

(I'm a slacker)

Never did I have a lotta dough

(I'm a slacker)

Smoking pot and watching videos

(I'm a slacker)

Go whichever way the wind blows

Those just tuning in, I'm just lettin' you know

(I'm a slacker)

Every time I take a look around

(I'm a slacker)

Stuck up on the faces around

(I'm a slacker, I'm a slacker, I'm a slacker)

I don't do enough, I just fool around

Y'all can go to hell, how does that sound?

(I'm a slacker)

Never did I have a lotta dough

(I'm a slacker)

Smoking pot and watching videos

(I'm a slacker)

Go whichever way the wind blows

Those just tuning in, I'm just lettin' you know

(I'm a slacker)

Every time I take a look around

(I'm a slacker)

Stuck up on the faces around

(I'm a slacker, I'm a slacker, I'm a slacker)

I don't do enough, I just fool around

Y'all can go to hell, how does that sound?

I'm a slacker, I'm a slacker, yeah

I'm a slacker, I'm a slacker, yeah

I'm a slacker, I'm a slacker, yeah

I'm a slacker, I'm a slacker
