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
