4 Locos at the Kangaroo
Four Locos at the Kangaroo
Doing nothing we’re supposed to do
Cuz senior year we had our jobs locked in
Had seven months left of heavy partying
In between parties
Me and the roomies had a think tank
We called it “Green Mansion”
Such a blessing when I think back
Four minds all interacting
Of high caliber, the top rank
UF was globally known for attracting
Kids who’d grow a big bank
You should have seen the kinda cats
Who’d pass through on the daily
To cop a dub or pass the blunt
And sip a coffee / Bailey’s
The future entrepreneurs,
Those conversations made me
As hungry as I am,
Our haters wrote us off as only
Just
Four Locos at the Kangaroo
Doing nothing we’re supposed to do
Cuz senior year we had our jobs locked in
Had seven months left of heavy partying
Celsius and Coke at Circle K
A 5th of Jack from just across the way
Looking back those were the silly days
The Kristy Kreme dozen with the Strawberry glaze
We were (skibbideeboppa) skipping class
Cause it (dippideeboppa) didn’t matter if (pa-pa-pa-pa) pass
(ma-ma-ma-ma) Moving small (a-mama-mama-mama) ‘mounts of grass
In the (sta-ba-da-ba-pa) stomping ground of Tebow
We super psyched to show the world what we know
Making stupid tunes we thought would sound like Eno
(But we know, that shit ain’t Brian Eno)
And the Dueling Pianos had us believing
This was the best we’d get, we might regret leaving
But it was nothing more than a passerby season
The reason for the smiles on our face at the time
Can you believe it only lasted a year more?
They shut the doors on Rocky’s Piano Bar, Igor
Flipped the profit into titty bars in Ybor
His motto was “here you can see more”
And see more, we did
The four of us would spend the next four years
On mental expansion,
Real estate advancement,
One dude fell in love,
One homie saw ‘bout half the world
And I fit like a glove
Into Sunset Park in Brooklyn
Learned the art of lyrical hooking
Dodged a fine or booking
Saw a bigger chance and took it
Took a darker take and shifted
Start to recognize I’m gifted
Grabbed a bigger weight and lifted
Gahdamn, sometimes I miss it

Shuffle to see who’d throw a dog a bone
