Mickey Mantle Never Paid My Rent Lyrics

It was 1960 and doo wop was the sound on the streets

(Standing on the corner)

Mickey Mantle was like a god to me 

My dad would take me to Yankee Stadium and we would watch the Yankees win

Woooh Double A whattup 

Meet me out at Stans, 24 oz cans 

Or maybe we in Billy's ripping shots twisting Phillies 

Like 2009 flow still out of my mind 

Michael Kay John Sterling those the sounds of the times 

Like white girls posting vacation photos I'm yelling take me back

Couldn't look your boy in the eye they couldn't face the facts 

Shoulda rocked my Jason mask

Back on my October shit 

Killing, they on their sober shit

Cheering spilling while holding it 

We steam sativas you see my features the cleanest sneakers 

A Judge jersey or either Jeter's a bleacher creature 

Tell them boys I'm a monster

Tell 'em to do what you gotta 

And tell them boys I'ma holla 

Pettitte, Rivera, Posada

Your boy is the whole enchilada

But please no cappin with the captain 

know I'm still all bout a dolla 

I learned early Mickey Mantle never paid my rent 

Rappers just like fair weather fans

I see they came and went (Standing on the corner)

Like I'm scalpin 

27 Of them fuckin things but whose counting 

Don Zimmer you mothafuckers just played the bench

Nothing is more valuable than time and the way it's spent

So bury me in the stands

Or maybe out at Stans 24 oz cans

See you can brag about Manhattan if you want 

But the greatest thing in New York still belongs in The Bronx

If you never been to a Yankee game this tape is not for you

If you don't enjoy soulful New York hiphop this tape is not for you

If you never owned a pair of Timberlands this tape is not for you 

If you never owned a Yankee fitted

This tape is not for you

If you never copped a mixtape on Fordham Road

Canal Street, your local barbershop or bodega

This tape is not for you 

If you don't know what a bodega is this tape is definitely not for you

If you don't know what a nutcracker is this tape is not for you

If you don't know who John Sterling Michael Kay

Or Mike Francesa is this tape is not for you

If your a Red Sox fan kill yourself
