I was born one night about twelve o'clock [ha ha ha] I come in this world playin a gold guitar My papa walk around stickin' out his chest [he he] Oh Mama, this boy, he gonna be a mess [yeah] Now people came from miles around Just see here my little guitar sound Now some of 'em said I had what it takes If I keep on practice, I'd be famous one day Woo, I'm a myth, I'm a killa dilla Early in the middle of the night A car drove up with four headlights Now man stepped out with a long cigar He said, "Sign this line, I can make you a star" I said, "What's in it, man? What's in it for me?" He said, "Play you guitar, son, and wait and see" Here I am Girls like me They say it's crazy So nice My first engagement was in Chicago I played for some people I'd never seen before It was good to 'em! They liked it How nice Ha ha ha Killer diller
