lyrics

you better hope the black hawk dont fly next to you
but you better drive fast enough that it would want to
you better feel soft enough that you can turn golden
gilded, silver
its an honest use

you better hope the black mouse dont wear a vest for you
you better hope that golden watch aint in his pocket
you better hope that happy bird stays abreast with you
provincial, you're simple
its an honest use

and its an honest down

you better hope your new wife would think to murder you
but you better feather all of your ducks so she wouldnt want to
you better be hard enough that you become ancient
no trace of your enslavement
its an honest use

you better hope your new man would write the book for you
you better hope that money hits right when you want it to
you better behave yourself so you can get good time
a lanyard up the pipeline
its an honest use

and its an honest down

you better hope the blind judge dont get parallel results from you
you better hope that both his seats are tipping backwards
you better load up your guns so you can kill actors
a master spellcaster
its an honest use

you think youre a dying breed, oh yeah you think youre fluffy
I'm gonna buzz your dumbass down, and happy barking
I've climbed high enough that I can see patterns
so dont you get too flattered
cause its an honest use

and its an honest down
