Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What you want to come back here for?
Thought you're with your uptown friends
Don't need none of your junkie business
You're gonna screw us up again
[Verse 2]
Get your blackjack off my table
Get your coat out of my rack
We don't need you 'round here, jerkoff
Chuck, I want you off my back
[Verse 3]
'Cause we've almost made it
We've almost made it
We've almost made it to the top
[Verse 4]
Got a gun from Uncle Freddy
Got a station all picked out
Got a plan and now we're ready
Gonna take that station out
[Verse 5]
So you go on about your business
You just leave us folks alone
We don't need no two-bit junkie
Screwin' up our happy home
[Verse 6]
'Cause we've almost made it
We've almost made it
We've almost made it to the top
[Verse 7]
We've almost made it
We've almost made it
We've almost made it to the top
