lyrics

I talked to the boss of the Italian resteraunt.
He throws out hundred dollar bills oh-so nonchalant.
He never has to ask, he just takes whatever he wants.
'Cuz he's the boss. Yeah, he's the boss.

I wanna be rich and cool like you,
Tell me, tell me, what am I to do?
He said, "I'll load your backpack before you go to school."
"Boy you're gonna be a coke mule."
"Boy you're gonna be a coke mule."

I keep it in my locker 'till the end of the day.
If they so-happen to release the dogs, I know just what to say.
Open my eyes, look surprised and say, "I think it's my Dad's"
And when nobody's lookin', slip out the back door with my bag.
With my bag.

I wanna be rich and cool like you,
Tell me, tell me, what am I to do?
He said, "I'll load your backpack before you go to school."
"Boy you're gonna be a coke mule."
"Boy you're gonna be a coke mule."

I learned the ropes, I learned the talk,
I learned the prices, when it came in bulk,
I learned the weight, I learned the code,
12 years old, only kid I know who had a snub nose.

I wanna be rich and cool like you,
Tell me, tell me, what am I to do?
He said, "I'll load your backpack before you go to school."
"Boy you're gonna be a coke mule."
"Boy you're gonna be a coke mule."
"Boy you're gonna be a coke mule."
"Boy you're gonna be a coke mule."
