[Verse 1]
I waGnt to kill this mDan, but he turGned around and rDan
I'll kCill him with kaDrate that I leaCrned in JaDpan
He wouGldn't see my faDce, I woulGdn't leave a traDce.
I wouCldn't use a bulDlet, cause a bulClet's a disgrDace.
[Chorus]
EmAw, Mom I nBmever thought that EmI was a murdering Bmman
But tonCight I'm on my wGay, tonCight I'm on my wGay
[Verse 2]
There's this draGwer that I kDnow, in a hGouse up the rDoad
That's fCull of thiDngs that are eaCsily soDld
When they gGo out of tDown I could Ggo and snoop aroDund
And maCke myself rDich, off the thCings that I foDund
[Chorus]
EmAw, Mom I nBmever thought that EmI was a stealing Bmman
But tonCight I'm on my wGay, tonCight I'm on my wGay
[Verse 3]
I was sitGting on the bleDacher, staGring at the speDaker
ReCading his liDps, but I coCuld not underDstand
So I opGened up my eDars and cleGarly I could heDar
This detCailed stDory all abCout a grain of saDnd
[Chorus]
EmAw, Mom I alBmways dreamt of bEmeing a good lisBmtener
So tonCight I'm on my wGay, tonCight I'm on my wGay
[Verse 4]
There's this kGid you gotta mDeet, he liGves across the stDreet
Hes got spCirit and heDart, we're tCen years apDart
He is uGp for anytDhing, he can hGang with anyoDne
He stCill likes the thDings, we used to thCink were fDun
[Chorus]
EmAw, mom I nBmever thought that EmI could have a frBmiend
But toCnight I'm on my Gway, toCnight I'm on my Gway

Oh tonight, I'm on my way
[Verse 5]
I'm in loGve with someoDne, who's as prGetty as a floDwer
Her liCfe gives me poDwer, so I'm buCying her a riDng
She makes haGts with her hDands, sGhe is such an artDist
IC'm her biggest fDan and I'm teacChing her to sDing
[Chorus]
EmAw, Mom I nBmever thought that EmI could love no Bmone
But tonCight I'm on my wGay, tonCight I'm on my wGay
Ohhhh tonCight I'm on my wGay.C  G
