Huff men don't take no nonsense He's here to rectify He's got his black belt buckle And the red mans fire in his eyes You with your switchblade posse I'll get my guns from the south We'll take to the yard like a cock fight For kicks, who's struttin' now? This party's overrated But there ain't shit else to do She's a lovin' on the boy from the city I'll be lovin' him under my shoe You with your switchblade posse I'll get my guns from the south We'll take to the yard like a cock fight For kicks, who's struttin' now? You with your switchblade posse I'll get my guns from the south We'll take to the yard like a cock fight For kicks, who's struttin' now?
