STREET CONTROLLER (feat. The Chaplain)

Being dressed to kill Is being dressed to die When he's clean and pressed And his teeth all shine When the humble price of a human life Couldn't pay the rent on his suit and tie He's a handsome man He patrols the slum He taxes the people at decent sums He lives with his mother and she keeps a gun In the cookie jar to protect her son They only play records from back in the day When the young people spoke in a measured way And even the heels were all self-effacing And only used slugs of the finest casing When men were as sharp as a Pedro Knight And didn't get dirty in petty fights But would all shake hands and would walk a pace Just to win the strip of a woman's lace Always a bomb in the baby stroller Where children limp from a heavy holster Something you learn as you start to get older You'd never expect the real street controller Always a bomb in the baby stroller Where children limp from a heavy holster Something you learn as you start to get older You'd never expect the real street controller Street controller Street controller Something you learn as you start to get older You'd never expect the real street controller Street controller Street controller Something you learn as you start to get older You'd never expect the real street controller She looks through the blinds at the garden gate Where there's always a bride she can shoo away And the neighbors know what she does with a broom When their daughters hide from a gossipping moon The elders see that she's showing mercy She bursts through the door in her rollers, cursing They've all witnessed her finest hour When the stick she bore had more firepower Always a bomb in the baby stroller Where children limp from a heavy holster Something you learn as you start to get older You'd never expect the real street controller Always a bomb in the baby stroller Where children limp from a heavy holster Something you learn as you start to get older You'd never expect the real street controller Street controller Street controller Something you learn as you start to get older You'd never expect the real street controller Street controller Street controller Something you learn as you start to get older You'd never expect the real street controller
