[Verse One: Mr. Wrong]

Gyp work, I'd rather stay in bed with a girl

Blazing 'izm playing dead to the world

Slam the paper on the kitchen display

And check which celebrities' deaths are being treated as suspicious today?

Do I give a fuck? Exactly

Flip from front-to-back, see fucking happy rich kids, who kick footies badly

For a living...

Start flicking again, now the chick with her tits out's lookin' at me

Clock some other people flashing cash, and wish I was them, for a minute

And then, my right hand's given a pen and I'm thinking of a long-winded way

To tell the listener what I did today

Well...

Before I acquired that wretched piеce of tabloid trash

I was fucking the scenеry up like a (?) tax

Bumping Bad Boys tracks in a shiny suit, pulling Michael moves

Too tight for bruisin' hand, I know who the man is

Fuck your stupid human language

Me and my crew of Buddha bandits

Communicate using smoke signals

Open mouths and throw tinfoils of Cobra down 'em

Foolproof instructions: Wait...

What you drinking? Don't drink then, just think..

Ah it's too late when 'yer puking up in the pub sink already

It's a lost cause

So I keep it old school, like grandfather socks and Rockports

And knock a vodka back, gettin' leggers along the flats in Castlefields

This is an ode to those who aren't packin' steel for the destruction of those amongst 'em

Keep all crosshairs on the man

And hope someone's got a plan or sum'fin


[Chorus]

We aren't jokin'

SARS mask on to keep the schwag smoke in

Yeah, spliff died, I'm heartbroken

SARS mask on to keep the schwag smoke in

It is what it is, and if it ain't then it's fake (Something Strange)

It is what it is, and if it ain't then it's fake (Something Strange)

It is what it is, and if it ain't then it's fake (Something Strange)

It is what it is, and if it ain't then it's fake


[Verse Two: King Grubb]

It is what it is, and if it ain't then it's fake

What's the aim of the game?

Life's a bitch and there's only one way to get laid:

Strike it rich, and enjoy the finer things

Fast cars, diamond rings

All that shiny shit

You could have it all, yo

I know what you're thinkin':

"What's the catch?

If there's none attached - where do I sign for it?"

Used to be a slave to the system til I jacked it in

Injured my back in an incident at the gym

How unlikely is that?

But, regardless of the questionable facts

The King's cashin' in faster than he can strap it

I wake up to a banquet, of pigs in blankets

Before I slip into my drinking jacket, and hit the (outs?)

(?) banging Smokey and the Bandits and sampling (?)

(?) buzzing like a honey bee

Nothing sweet and fly, although some people say I shouldn't be

'Twas I with my fingers in your shrubbery

You could only dream of standing up to me

Get treated like a Hubba Bubba bubbly

Better have a good enough reason 'ta

Leave your poor mother tearful, 'ya

Not even intermediate

Can stand before the imperial

Vodka bottle toting King Grubb

You know my steeze


[Chorus]

It is what it is, and if it ain't then it's fake (Something Strange)

It is what it is, and if it ain't then it's fake (Something Strange)

It is what it is, and if it ain't then it's fake (Something Strange)

It is what it is, and if it ain't then it's fake (Somethin')

We aren't jokin'

SARS mask on to keep the schwag smoke in

Yeah, spliff died, I'm heartbroken

SARS mask on to keep the schwag smoke in
