Buck 65 - Shutter Buggin lyrics

What business are you in?

Dog eats dog give and take - take and giving
Hands that feed a man's gotta make a living
Charcoal barbecue station wagon nice dream
Selling cigarettes and men’s magazines
And ice cream
There’s all kinds of hunger pains
Enzymes and hormones
500 flavors, hard drugs and pornos
You want it, I got it low-life, high-strung
I just wanna watch the game
And get fat and die young
I go to church, pay my taxes, smile nice
Won’t swear
I don’t understand your needs and
Frankly I don't care
He wants to be a cowboy and
She wants to be an actress
I just want to stash some
Money under my mattress wine and candy
Fine and dandy old and proper unity
Community be damned
I see a golden opportunity
Women with hips and brains instead of
Scrounging for tips and change
Ships and planes high heel shoes
And whips and chains

Flashy-flash! Watch the birdy
Trashy trash! Wash the dirty
Flashy-flash! Watch the birdy
Trashy trash! Wash the dirty

Mail order fantasies glamour for shipment
Got a good eye for beauty
And some camera equipment
My sister’s friends call me
Mr lens i’m focused
The girl next door becomes
A goddess like hocus-pocus
Studio lights and bondage gear
Hangs on coat hooks
Descriptions of fetishes written down
In some notebooks
The customer's always right even if
You say it's wrong
I don’t always ask questions and
The girls just play along
Venus in furs, black nylon, go-go boots
There’s always an exuberant mood
At the photo shoots
Handcuffs and harnesses whatever else
If it please, s
Plus, some 8 mm films of some strip teases
Two pretty girls in broad daylight
They might play fight and tie each other
Up if the pay’s right
Senators and next door neighbors
It’s a funny biz not saying that I like it
It’s just where the money

Flashy-flash! Watch the birdy
Trashy trash! Wash the dirty

Tore up the rule book flaunted convention
Undaunted, drew some unwanted attention
Weirdos and do-gooders
Big shots and minimals
Women with serious problems and criminals
Fifty thousand names on the
Mailing list estimated
Under attack, being tested and investigated
Juvenile delinquency my ass! What
Is this shit? Fought by some of the same men
That I do business with
They focus on the negatives
Treating us like common crooks
I’m an artist goddammit! They said the
Same thing about comic books
Who could have guessed it?
Created a mob scene
The demand is undeniable
But they say it's obscene spread eagle
American beauty: Stranger and splendid
Major offended naked as nature intended
Leaves a bad taste in some peoples mouths
Maybe bitter don’t want your manure
I’m an entrepreneur not a babysitter
