Sample Lyrics
- They can't touch me
- We break off
- Run so fast they can't even touch me
- Been that gypsy
- Touch me I'll show you tricks with my zig-zag quickly
- Pick up that pack on my journey
- Dogs run, they start to follow me
- Have my luck, some days they suck
- When you live for the buck
- We get for the family
- One day I wanna be a star
- So I get to hang in a bar
- I'll go to Vegas with the playas
- Just to forget my scars
