Cleaning out my closet and all them other But regardless I hate you 'cause ma! You're still beautiful to me, you're my mom Though far be it for you to be calling, my was Vietnam Storm and both of us put together Can an atomic bomb equivalent to chemical warfare And forever we can this on and on But, to disagree gift from me up under the Christmas tree don't mean shit to me You're kicking me out?
