Here for Cash, Cars and Guitars

[Intro] [Exotic acoustic string chord rings out on a plucked oud] [Sassy vocal chant: "Yeah... uh-huh"] [A fast, bouncy ethnic percussion rhythm kicks in with crisp darbukas, djembes, and shakers] [Playful giggle ad-lib over a driving string riff] [Verse 1] [Minimalist percussion groove, rapid hand drum taps, fast-paced rhythmic rap delivery] All I can say is back in school I was so small I got no second looks, no dates at all [Chuckle ad-lib: "haha!"] And all I could do was just watch them walk right by And wonder why the hell I was that guy... I was that guy [Vocal fry effect] [Chorus] [Rhythm explodes with layered ethnic percussion, soaring R&B-style melodic vocals over a sweeping acoustic string ensemble] Now I got a fleet of fast sports cars, oh, look at me play this hot guitar [Plucked string swell] Ya know, I got the cash to buy the bar They crowd around like I am a star [Vocal runs] [Verse 2] [Beat drops to snappy woodblocks, tambourines, and a deep hand-drum pulse, rhythmic rap vocals] And I don't understand why they line up everyday And I start to perceive it like a buffet [Ad-lib: "yum!"] And all I can do is just treat them all like wine A little taste to see if they are fine [Building vocal cadence over accelerating string plucks] So fine... so fine... so fine... [Whispered: "mwah"] [Bridge / Instrumental Breakdown] [Infectious, fast-paced acoustic string solo on saz and oud, intricate ethnic percussion breakdown, vocal ad-libs] [Verse 3] [Stripped-back hand drum rhythm, confident, smug, fast rap delivery] All I can say is look who's crawling back to me The girls who said I sucked in history They're here today... they're here to stay [Ad-lib: "bye!"] [Chorus] [Full anthemic organic production, driving djembes and darbukas, intense layers of string harmonies] Now I got a fleet of fast sports cars, oh, look at me play this hot guitar Ya know, I got the cash to buy the bar They crowd around like I am a star [Outro] [Sassy spoken-word ad-libs, fading hand percussion, echoing acoustic string plucks] They're here to stay [Ad-lib: "Yep!"] They're here to stay Oh, no, no... The ones who dumped me want to stay They're here to stay... [Playful giggle, final sharp darbuka snap, abrupt stop]
