Nowadays kids don't get beat, they get big treats Fresh pair of sneaks, punishments like have a seat Back then when friends and neighbors would bust that ass And bring you back to your momma she got the switch in the stash That's back to back beatings Only went outside for free lunch with welts on my legs still leakin yo [Hook: Sample] "Take me across her lap She used to whip me with a strap When I was bad" "—bad" "Take me across her lap She used to whip me with a strap When I was bad" "—bad" |
