Drugs & Cosmetics

Watch your back and keep your hand on your gun
Your best clients will keep you on the run
You're lookin' good for someone living on the street
Tryna make rent in the city that never sleeps
Side hustle still you're looking your best
You can barely see your bulge in that dress
In the green room before every show
You can still find time to powder your nose
Clean off!

It's a risky business
But you want to see more
Another customer
Waits for you at the door
Looking for a hit
And a little action
Everybody knows
You're the main attraction

You think I would let it
Happen then forget it
You gotta pay before you pet it
With drugs and cosmetics
You need a hit well I can get it
Fix your face and sell it
Take a chance and bet it
All on drugs and cosmetics, oh yeah

Another morning in some hotel room
The boys are still out cold and you have to leave soon
Work the corner overtime and cash in your checks
Enrique says no freebies 'til you pay off your debt
One more line will have you feeling alright
Hell in high heels strutting into the night
Reapply your lipstick and leave 'em your card
Jack all their money and duck past the lobby guard
All the suits having a midlife crisis
At the bar supporting all my vices
Paying by the hour tryna make it last
They're your corporate ladder and you're climbing real fast
Get my meals for free with champagne on ice
Just to turn tricks and pretend to be nice
Acting's the strongest skill you ever did have
Back on the corner of east 6th and 2nd Ave.

It's a dirty city, but you want to see more
Another ambulance scrapes you up off the floor
You're a total wreck, still you give satisfaction
All the nurses look to get a piece of your action

You think I would let it
Happen then forget it
You gotta pay before you pet it
With drugs and cosmetics
You need a hit well I can get it
Fix your face and sell it
Take a chance and bet it
All on drugs and cosmetics, oh yeah...

Ow!
Alright!
