LYRICS

We're in the basement, learning to print
All of it's hot!
10-20-30 million ready to be spent

We're stackin' 'em against the wall

Those gangster presidents

Livin' simple and trying to get by

But honey, prices have shot through the sky

So I fixed up the basement with

What I was a-workin' with

Stocked it full of jelly jars

And heavy equipment

We're in the basement...

10-20-30 million dollars

Ready to be spent



Walk into the bank, try to pass that trash

Teller sees and says "Uh-huh-that's fresh as grass."

See the street pass under your feet

In time to buy the latest model get-away Jeep



So I fixed up the basement with

What I was a-workin' with

Stocked it full of jelly jars

And heavy equipment

We're in the basement



So I fixed up the basement with

What I was a-workin' with

Stocked it full of jelly jars

And heavy equipment

We're in the basement,

Learning to print

All of it's hot

All counterfeit
