Jesus wore a tuxedo

as he rolled down my street

Servin' chips and bonito

in his cookshack machine

Savin' money and souls

one sweet meal at a time

Takin' back his control

stoppin' crime on a dime

So I pulled out my cash

stood in line for a taste

Used the salsa, just a splash

cause I'm not about waste

Dropped my fork on the ground

but I don't even sweat it

I'm a grub hubbin' hound

I used my fingers, forget it

Salsa dripped on my shirt

ya know, I can't be seen trippin

So, I flipped it in reverse

there's two sides for a reason

Ain't shamin' me, before Christ

in the tux he be sportin'

Don't worry, everything's fine

we're in harmonious proportions
