[00:49.05]Now a while ago,
[00:50.61]I had to do a little bid
[00:52.11]Cause of the things
[00:53.04]I wanted, as a little kid
[00:54.75]I wanted to be like the dealers a lot
[00:56.61]Cause of the things they had and the respect that they got
[00:59.76]All the girls used to jock 'em
[01:01.74]And I wondered why my parents used to knock 'em

Now a while ago,

I wanted, as a little kid
I wanted to be like the dealers a lot
Cause of the things they had and the respect that they got
