me and aquil stealing stuff from work

Show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos

Show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos

Show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos

First job was a shoe store

Water Tower Place on the top floor

First check paid above board

I managed the stock room

Taking extra breaks in the washroom

Polos and khakis like a State Farm costume

My boss was a lot like Mike Scott

His coffee was piping hot and his breath stank

Ex-military, but low rank

He trusted me too much

I took it as an insult

I took me some Timbos

They put me on the sales floor

Show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos

They put me on the sales floor

Show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos

Commission on the check was the lick tho'

Show the Mephistos, they conform to your feet tho'

They better than Eckos, they killing the Danskos

They three hundred bucks tho', I feel like a asshole

I brought out the white pair

Them try-on socks is like some tiny little pantyhose

But they killing the Havana Joes

Pinocchio with a banana nose

But I'ma show the Mephistos

They put me on the sales floor

Show the Mephistos

They put me on the sales floor

Show the Mephistos

They put me on the sales floor

Show the Mephistos

They put me on the sales floor

They put you on the sales floor?

Fuckin' Mephistos

I swore the homie Drone found the cheat code

Wealthy ladies lie 'bout they feet growth

They blame it on me, bro

Not cool

So now this spook haunting the stockroom

Stack of packing slips where I plot moves

Assistant manager, call her Gwendolyn

Chat her up while Drone was restocking the Timberlands

Like, "Get me some cigarettes"

Slid her a fin and get us a two pack

Let her keep the twenty cents change

Game, third floor, great legs, tho'

Not really a looker

Flirt for Auntie Annie pretzels, hot cinnamon sugar

Hit Mickey D's for that wack check burger

To spend my last, like my white boss would brag, he did on Black sex workers

Pandering to that goofy had me feeling the blues

So "volunteer for trash duty" meant "I'm stealing your shoes"

Fuckin' Mephistos

Three years after Black Shampoo turned to Wilco

My eyes on those low cut Timbos

Army green and black with the steel toe

Like how the hell I work and be still broke?

Mephisto? Ain't that short for Mephistopheles?

Comic irony, the hellscape where we felt so trapped was stocking these

And Dansko clogs from the first thirteen colonies, ugh!
