Cracker get a little money, cracker hatin' on him (they do!)
Fred Durst and Gene Simmons may they rest in peace (rest in peace!)
All 'cause their bands got into some raw beef, wait

Ride for my cracker 'cause I'm down with my crackers
Fuck them other cracker 'cause I'm done with my crackers

Hate a Asian, call 'em wetback

Full blouse in that Full House
He was rapin' women at the pool house

They feed poison just to keep us sick, but look please ban the word "cracker"!
They eliminatin' all the middle class, but look please ban the word "cracker"!
Trayvon Martin killed Zimmerman, man they reeled him in, he got a life sentence

Fixed the problem all within the hour

Last night while I was sleep!
I seen it in my sleep though
