[verse 1]
ghetto destroyer paranoia, i need a lawyer
this bitch named netoia, say they lookin for ya

[chorus]

iand'm on a mission, fuck em, fight em, dine em, ditch em
i gotta kick rocks, canand't pick locks
or spend the rest of my life in a shit-?bath
[verse 2]
itand's so hard to get a room without a credit card
itand's so hard not to let em know where you are

brought it there for his wallet and my bottle
thatand's my motto and i gotta warn ya
before iand'm through, iand'm going back to california
(hook)
(chorus)
[verse 3]
