[Bit 1]

So I've never lived in a city before.

I've always been like a small-town kind of guy.

Just real simple, easy-going, like normal shit.

When I saw something living on the side of the road,

it'd just be a little animal, some cute fuzzy.

And now here, I just got all these homeless people.

[Bit 2]

When I first moved here, like, I felt bad for him.

You give him a dollar, do what you can.

But I saw this one guy that just ruined it all for everybody.

He was holding his sign that said cancer can't work.

How are you gonna use your Zodiac sign

as an excuse to being homeless?

You're not out here 'cause you were born in July, dude.

That's insane.

I'm working three jobs, struggling to feed myself

and you just sitting, "Oh, I was born in July.

"Can you help me?"

Like, "No, fuck you, dude."

[Bit 3]

I try to look for the bright side in everything.

I really do.

And with having the homeless people here,

I think I finally found it.

It's like if you're out here on Sixth Street

and anybody starts like shooting

and they start blasting,

we got a lot of meat shields we can use.

I'm grabbing the guy in the wheelchair.

I'm charging straight at him.

We're gonna be the heroes of the day, man.
