"Buttons And Beaus" lyrics

"Buttons And Beaus"

Your mama's a whore
Your daddy's dead
She went and made you a hard road to tread
She'll never cheat her
She'll never lie
Alone at the gravesite
In a final goodbye

Your mama's a gold-digger
For money she'll spread
Her sticky fingers
All over his bed
She'll do what he wants
And he'll be a king
On her mind is the golden ring

Money changer, money changer
Don't matter who she just gives it to strangers
Money changer, money changer
She's a taker, and dirty knows no danger

Winds never change her
She directs the flow
Weather never worries
A low down ho
She'll steal what he wants
And make him waste time
She'll put on the language
Make him lose his mind

Aw your mama's cheap
You mama's shaggy
She'll show her fangs and they rusty and raggy
She don't forget nothin'
It stays in her head
Cause she gonna use it the minute he's dead

Money changer, money changer
Don't matter who she just gives it to strangers
Money changer, money changer
She's a taker, and dirty knows no danger
