MY LIFE'S IN THE BAG

I wasn't born out of spite or sin
Gravitation just dropped me in it
College boy copped a feel
Drugstore girl fell right in it
I could be wrong but I see it's chance
Forty minutes on fish were dancing
Forty weeks dropped like that
That's when I started prancing
My life's in the bag
Don't even need _ minute
Take my record
Dust it off and spin it around
I wasn't raised with a silver spoon
Just a steamin' hot TV dinner
Rubber boots and bumper shoes
Boy I tell ya I am the winner
So mama packed me off to school
Had to walk a block it was gruelin'
Graduate son and go to college
It's a drag cos they ain't foolin'
My life's in the bag
Don't even need a minute
Take my record
Dust it off and spin it around
Tell me why do I deserve to live
This life of convenience
In a world full of down and outers
What am I supposed to win?
Which track I ride from this to that
In the game it dosn't matter
Any field that I play
In the end I'm just the batter
I'm gonna scam until I find that street
Where a kid like me can pull a heater
Find a game I can lose
Spot the man to call me cheater
My life's in the bag
Don't even need a minute
Take my record
Dust it off and spin it around
Spin it around
