[Verse 1]

Me and my friends in a hundred dollar Volvo

Busting down the street while cruising Alvarado

Getting fucked up on the 101

Shootin' our guns and having fun

40 beers later and a line of speed

Eight ball of blow and a half pound of weed

Heading down the track to Mexico

Fucked on beer and staying gold


[Hook]

I drink cheap beer, so what? Fuck you

I drink cheap beer, so what? Fuck you


[Verse 2]

As I was saying all that shit like that Vietnam shit

Beer's always better with a bag around it

Dan's in the back puking on my seat

But he was drinking cheap beer, so it's okay by me

Supposed to be in Santa Monica at 8 a.m

Fuck the clock and drink red again

23 years I've been drinking cheap beer

61 more, but from a liquor store


[Hook]

I drink cheap beer, so what? Fuck you

I drink cheap beer, so what? Fuck you


[Instrumental Break]


[Hook]

I drink cheap beer, so what? Fuck you

I drink cheap beer, so what? Fuck you

Laws prohibiting the public consumption of alcohol can often be circumvented with a simple brown bag. That’s a good feeling.

He might mean that he has been drinking underage, and purchased alcohol illegally since he was born.

The line has two possible meanings.
The first possibility is that they’re making a reference to the high frequency of guns involved in road rage incidents in California.
Alternatively, “shooting a gun” is also slang for using a needle to inject drugs, most frequently heroine.
