Bilingual
I was walking around the corner, I was drinking body armor
I was talking on the phone, I was speaking to my mama
It was people outside in their panties and pajamas
I swear, I think I seen more pigs than a farmer
I finally break past the onlookers and mourners
I see the caution tape, I knew I was getting warmer
I'm looking at the units and the words read trauma
Oh, this the same shit I seen on "Law And Order"
I see a white band on the side of said corner
And instantly I knew that somebody was a gonner
Seen a hand sticking out, but the body it was covered
Then I heard a cop say he was a junkie and a stoner
A young girl wept, she was yelling for her father
I'm praying that the bum didn't die beside his daughter
I know the next home that she going to is foster
So now I'm looking at the dead nigga like a monster
I see a red cup laying next to his body
It's probably alcohol, so I'm thinking, why bother?
But what I seen next, man, it probably would've shocked ya
What was in his cup
It was a dollar
Shake, shake (damn)
Don't be stingy, spend some change (people tryna live)
Shake, shake
Don't be stingy, where the change
Shake, shake
Don't be stingy, spend some change
Shake, shake
Don't you know that bums have a name?
Shake, shake (damn)
Don't be stingy, spend some change (people tryna live)
Shake, shake
Don't be stingy, where the change
Shake, shake
Don't be stingy, spend some change
Shake, shake
Don't you know that bums have a name?
A couple years later, I became an undertaker
You know the one that put you in the ground, and cremate ya
I see a lot of people. I see elders, I see babies
But for some odd reason, I just can't forget this lady
I'm looking at her face, she's laying on a table
I don't know where I seen her, was it Instagram or cable?
I'm searching for a name, and then I read the label
Last name Johnson, first name Mabel
Her hair was all curled with a necklace full of pearls
Had a tattoo on her chest saying "Long live Earl"
To most, she was a stripper, but to me, she just a girl
Who was searching for some love, became a product of the world
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks
I know her
She was the daughter of the junkie and a stoner
She was loved, but nobody ever told her
She lost her daddy, now another nigga own her
Shake, shake (damn)
Don't be stingy, spend some change (she was tryna live)
Shake, shake
Don't be stingy, where the change
Shake, shake
Don't be stingy, spend some change
Shake, shake
Don't you know that bums have a name?
Shake, shake (damn)
Don't be stingy, spend some change (she was tryna live)
Shake, shake
Don't be stingy, where the change
Shake, shake (damn)
Don't be stingy, spend some change (people tryna live)
Shake, shake
Don't you know that bums have a name?
