Lyrics
“Shady People” by Taylor Hollingsworth
I spent a whole lot of time around shady people Used to make a livin’ as a drug dealing man Thought my knowledge
Was as good as college
Thought I’d make that money Just as fast as I can
With a pocket knife
And a hippy van
Just rollin’ the dice
Like a lemonade stand
Takin’ advice from whoever I can
Nobody wants to help a drug dealing man
I went a whole lotta places you don’t wanna go Met a whole lotta faces you don’t wanna know Just as dumb as they come
When put to the test
When momma don’t know Momma don’t stress
I spent a whole lot of time around shady people Used to make a livin’ as a drug dealing man Thought my knowledge
Was as good as college
Thought I’d make that money Just as fast as I can
If I can trade a dime for a quarter why Wouldn’t I do it and do it every time Arbitrary lines painted by design
To take all our money
Or take all our time
I went a whole lotta places you don’t wanna go Met a whole lotta faces you don’t wanna know Just as dumb as they come
When put to the test
When momma don’t know Momma don’t stress
I spent a whole lot of time around shady people Used to make a livin’ as a drug dealing man Thought my knowledge
Was as good as college
Thought I’d make that money Just as fast as I can
