Lyrics

[Intro]
Aaaaaaaaaaah–
[Verse 1]
Cheat time, open slot
I go to work (Like I said, like I said, like I said, like I said)
A velvet con man
You'll never feel the jerk (Like I said, like I said, like I said, like I said)
[Chorus]
I trolled ya, Jim Dandy
Bogus operandi
My modus, so handy
Nothing but bogus operandi, yeah
[Verse 2]
Foul play, DNA
That is to say (Like I said, like I said, like I said, like I said)
My personality is rotten all the way (Like I said, like I said, like I said, like I said)
[PreChorus]
Mmm, stand to the side when my shit starts breaking
You're gonna think you've gone blind
I only need a moment, and moments come around
You're gonna think you've gone blind
[Chorus]
I trolled ya, Jim Dandy
Bogus operandi
My modus, so handy
Nothing but bogus operandi, yeah
Nothing but bogus operandi, yeah
[Bridge]
You're gonna die
Like I said, like I said
[Bridge]
Like I said, like I said, like I–
Said
[Bridge]
Well, like I said, like I said, like I said, like I said (Come on!)
Well, like I said, like I said, like I said, like I said
[Chorus]
I trolled ya, Jim Dandy
Bogus operandi (Well, like I said, like I said, like I said, like I said)
My modus, so handy
Nothing but bogus operandi, yeah (Well, like I said, like I said, like I said, like I said)
[Outro]
Nothing but bogus operandi, yeah
Nothing but bogus operandi, yeah
Nothing but bogus operandi, yeah
Nothing but bogus operandi, yeah
