100% Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can never forget you
The way you rock the girls
They rule the world and love you
A blast in the underworld
I stick a knife in my head
A-thinking 'bout your eyes
But now that you been shot dead
I got a new surprise

[Chorus]
But I've been waiting for you just to say
The zoftig chick is mine
But all I know is you got no money
But that's got nothing to do with a good time

[Verse 2]
But can you forgive the boy who
Shot you in the head?
Or should you get a gun and
Go and get revenge?
A hundred percent of my love
U-up to you, true star
It's hard to believe you took off
I always thought you'd go far

[Chorus]
But I've been around the world a million times
And all you men are slime
A gun to my head, goodbye, I am dead
Wastewood rockers, it's time for crime, hey

[Instrumental Outro]
