Every time I've heard the finished version of this, I crack up. Me and Cainam talking and mimicking girls, I mean, come on! Poindexter came through to finish a hook that I started. He did an awesome job of recording it. We could do a hilarious video of this. I can see it now - GOAT and Cainam in drag, and Poindexter in a security shirt acting as a bouncer. three6t killed with this beat, it's bangin'!
lyrics
THESE PEOPLE
VERSE I
it’s a Thursday night and I gotta work tomorrow
had a bad day, tryin’ to drink away my sorrows
runnin’ late by mistake, but I can’t cancel
if you rock it like me, you always got your hands full
bottle in my left hand, shot of Crown in my right
both feet wobbley, guzzlin’ the Bud Light
put the mic on the stand – stumbled off the stage
then I heard a pretty young thing say – “HEY!”
I loved 2nd Half – that song was so sweet
can I please buy you and three6t a drink?
how ‘bout you buy me 2 cause girl, I gotta have it
support my music through my alcohol habit
CHORUS
these people don't know me, but they keep buyin' me shots
these people wanna tell me how my crew just blew up the spot
it's impolite to turn 'em down, but I know I should stop
these people don't know me, but they keep buyin' me shots
OUTRO
get me as drunk as they can – think I’m 21 again
I was on my 12th step man – my sponsor’s disappointed, damn…
