Chemistry Class

Track B4
 
[Verse 1] She throws back her hair and she shows you her mouth The breath that I waste trying to ruin your life Beauty's on a budget, but you take it on the chin 'Cause you have to do your duty, taking orders from the kingpin [Chorus] You've got a chemistry class; I want a piece of your mind You don't know what you started when you mixed it up with mine Are you ready for the final solution? Oh, oh [Verse 2] Chopped you up in butcher's school Threw you out of the academy of garbage You'll be a joker all your life A student at the comedy college People-pleasing people pleasing people like you You've been around so long, but you still don't know what to do [Chorus] You've got a chemistry class; I want a piece of your mind You don't know what you started when you mixed it up with mine Are you ready for the final solution? Oh, oh [Verse 3] Sparks are flying from electrical pylons Snakes and ladders running up and down her nylons Ready to experiment, you're ready to be burned If it wasn't for some accidents then some would never, ever learn [Chorus] You've got a chemistry class; I want a piece of your mind You don't know what you started when you mixed it up with mine Are you ready for the final solution? Yeah Oh...
