The Chords - Supermarket Sweep lyrics

[Verse 1] Chords: It started in '91, my partner and I would come To the store empty-handed and part with about a ton Of merch, we'd see how much it was worth All the expensive sh** got stuffed in my shirt Hustle and work, we'd steal 'til our muscles would hurt And we really didn't care if we got rushed by the clerk See, in the 100-yard dash, no-one came close to me Not even if their jeans were full of groceries Took the good sh**, didn't f** with the rest Left stores with TV's tucked in my vest And even though I might not boost as much It'll be a cold day in hell before I lose the touch Promoe: Compared to me you're like a little baby, I Stole my first marker back in '85 When I wrote graffiti and it made me live And just go into the stores and raise the aisle Now I know my mother wondered how she raised her child Gave me a bunch of rules and made me stay inside Nothing seemed to work, I guess I'm just a shady type Criminal to the bone marrow, hate to buy The originator while you plagarize And I'm not just doing this to save a dime And not cause it's too hot to stand in line To me, it's not a atrend, it's a way of life! [Chorus 1] It's the supermarket sweep, It's all got to go Join the fun, cut your costs, save a whole lot of dough They may have eyes, but they won't spot a pro They got Chords & Promoe in the store on the low [Verse 2] Chords & Promoe: Those were the days, now we're off to bigger and better things Candybars don't fill the belly of seasoned veterans We got to plan this like Ocean's Eleven Alright, I know the spot but it's closing at 7 According to the brethren, the place is a dead end So if we hit it right, it'll make us a legend If we figure out how to get over the big toys sh**, I got a duffel bag and it's coated with tin foil That's great, but what about the security cams? Don't worry about them, they won't ruin the plan And the guards? Won't expect it The alarm? Disconnected All we really got to do is stay calm and collected In and out, poof! Gone in a second The damn guard isn't even armed with a weapon Step on the brake, pull over the car and park it We're here man, we reached the target [Chorus 1] Chords & Promoe: We came in the door, done it before Never let the laws patronize us no more It's time to settle the score with this dirty business Let the customers here be the first to witness The looting of a lifetime right in front of their eyes Let's take this shoppin cart to the ruggedest ride And leave the manager standing there, wondering "Why?" We left this baby like a motherless child And we don't even hide the sh** I walk by the register with an entire fridge Look the store detective in the eye and spit Tell him we know where he lives if he tries to snitch And tell him mind his biz, I'm coming back for more sh** Moving caseloads out the front with a forklift Chords in the back, Promoe lead the way No, miss, I'm fine thanks, nothing for me today [Bridge] Chords & Promoe: Roll in the trolleys and the wheelbarrows We don't give a f** if the aisles real narrow Stealing everything, including kitchen sinks And if we get caught we won't admit a thing We just roll in the trolleys and the wheelbarrows We don't give a f** if the aisles real narrow Stealing everything, including kitchen sinks And we don't give a f** what you b**hes think [Chorus 2] It's the supermarket sweep, it's all got to go It's fun, it's cheap, save a whole lot of dough They might se but they won't spot a pro The way we creep, ain't no way you can know
