"Great Balls of Fire"
I treat pimpin' like skateboardin', 'cause
I'm "turnin' tricks,"
Rotatin' two ways just like 180° kickflips,
I pop it, I catch it, the landing stuck,
When I ollie play like that animal that
quacks, and "duck,"
'Cause you'll be lookin' at my spitfires
when I take flight,
I just might give new meaning to the
word "wheelbite,"
I'm bustin' over gaps, on handrails,
benches, whateva,
Any endeavor, rain or shine any weather,

My dazzling repertoire will put kiddies in
a trance,
You're braggin' about that frontside flip
but I just did it switchstance,
Now all you rollerbladers, ain't got
no balls,
We support local skate shops while you
buy your crap at malls,
You're always chasin' but you can't keep
up, you should retire,
You're the tail on that comet, I'm the
great ball of fire!

What's the difference between
a prostitute and a drug dealer?
A prostitute can wash her crack
and sell it again.
