[Fat Tony]
Drink Guinness, wear denim
Drink finished, where the women? Aye!

Levi came to America, straight from Bavaria, stayed in the bay area
Hooked up with Jacob Davis and they made the jean that changed the scene
Turned the whole thing into hysteria, now every teen wearing a pair of them
First, they was for the cowboys and the lumberjacks
But rock 'n' roll took control of that, look at any Ramones photograph
Hol' up, back back, let a nigga backtrack, denim was invented by the French
But you couldn't really find that shit til like 1896
I grew up on Osh Kosh and Bugle Boy, when my jeans was dirty I wore corduroy
I ignore the boy, where the women?

Drink Guinness, wear denim
Drink finished, where the women? Aye!

In 1759, Arthur Guinness started brewin'
In St. Jame's Gate, Dublin but he sent it to London
And niggas loved it, when I was 18 Guinness hit my stomach
My body didn't want it, but I knocked it down like it was my opponent
Cause I saw my family all up on it
My Nigerian side faced genocide, at night they cried but as they sighed
They had a 6 pack by their side plus with that they still had their pride
Now as I ride through these city streets, I got Guinness and Tiffany with a G
One a day a nigga had an epiphany and since then I knew that it was meant to be
Cause simply, eventually a nigga had to display this pimpery

And drink Guinness, wear denim
Drink finished, where the women? Aye!

Now women came from Adam's rib, he was the first man God had to test the kid
He put the snake with the apple, I bet it didn't taste like some Snapple
In Eden they was eatin' on forbidden fruit until they found out they was in the straight nude
Now me and every other straight dude's tryna get every girl in the straight nude
All these lames walking 'round like they can't lose
Got these girls all confused saying they can't choose
That's why every night around midnight I remind 'em of the right to remove a fool

So we can drink Guinness, wear denim
Drink finished, where the women? Aye!

about

Fat Tony Houston, Texas

No artist personifies the DIY culture of both underground hip-hop and Houston as perfectly as Fat Tony, who stormed through the indie-rap gates more than a decade ago. He’s found himself as an artist among fellow Houstonians who mix inward-looking pathos with storytelling and a swagger all their own—from Devin the Dude to Scarface—as well as like-minded iconoclasts such as Prince. ... more
