Now there’s Amtoo many Gcooks but you Clike how it looks
When they’re Gbowing and Fcalling you “Cboss”
But the Ampowers that Gwere, were Cinvested in Amher
And now Gwinning means Ftaking    Ca losAms

I’m Gliving a lEmie
  CYou’re living Amit too
  CCause I live it Amwith you
I’m Gliving a liBme
  EmA lie I can’t Amtell
So we Gwait for a Fcrack in the Amshell
Yeah we Gwait for a Fcrack in the Amshell

Tossing your hair

Though I let you think there was no witness to

All of your crimes

I knew what you were

A climber who climbs

Now there’s too many cooks but you like how it looks
