So when I was 13 said, I'm rollin' my own

Sitting by the fire with a busted nose

But the white part is perfect for slickin' down your hair

        D
And I'm lost
        A
And I'm lost

Well I dined last night with Scarface Ron
      A
On Telapia fish cakes and fried black swan

Well God's green hair is where I slept last
   A
He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass
      D
Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird
         D
And when I wanna talk, he hangs on every word
