Load bazooka Scoped the culprit hulks over a broken hookah Got rebel camps with siphons amped to cookie-cut the wattage Electric ilk NY raised on b-movie s*uts and gossip Conditioned the bodega rodent moment composure to echo numb and uncommon, dumb monkey pollen My 23's lean over a cobra motor milligram bender, novelty I tip lids prior to clipping the comradery Check the muck out When metal maggots burrow in Promised Land vein division I tug my brim down over my astigmatism, low pro Paxil Rose, Axl broke and butchered Last catapult standing in a land of coke and hookers King Kong potluck, no parking for rickshaw loads of sock puppets and sitcoms Just Krylon pigs bred in a hot boxed wigwam Serotonin deficient teens demonstrate ease in the modern day Uzi purchase The foundation of their alacrity makes the mothers nervous Me?
