Lyrics
Spin Like a Top
Hey, hey, hey!
Manny and Rod were out playing god with other people?s lives
Manny said, ?What say we blow him away, cuz I don?t like what he drives?
The bullet goes in, the bullet goes out, listen to them whistle and shout
The tires all blew, the body did, too, nothing we can do but watch him
Chorus
Spin like a top, spin like a top
Pop til they drop, sit and watch him
Spin like a top, spin like a top
Ain?t gonna stop until, until, until--until what??
Manny and Rod moved onto fraud and to stealing other people?s coin
Live and let die, just wave ?bye-?bye, cuz it?s a club you ain?t gonna join
They promise her this, they promise him that
Dash with the cash in nothing flat
Getting away with everyone?s pay
Big money day in the neighborhood, they
Chorus
Spin like a top...Ain?t gonna stop until someone, someone
Stands up to shout, ?Get ?em out!
Show their faces ?round the street, sound the warbeat
Lyin?, killin?, stealin?, chillin?
Ain?t gonna let ?em, gotta go out and get ?em
And then, and then, we?re gonna watch ?em spin
We?re gonna dump ?em in to the big bin
Got no use for this team of human abuse?
Spin like a top, spin like a top, spin like a top, it?s gotta stop
Manny and Rod are pushing up sod in the middle of the neighborhood
We got tired of the sins the boys sired, yeah, the two were no damn good
Don?t know when, don?t know where
Don?t know how, and we don?t care
But nobody cried when Manny and Rod died
Cuz we got our block, and we sit and rock
And we talk all day while the children play
With toys, with toys, with toys, with toys that
Chorus
Spin like a top, spin like a top
Pop ?til they drop, laugh and watch ?em
Spin like a top...
Hey, hey, hey!
