lyrics

My old man he's big and bad
He keeps it real wherever he's at
Won't take no mess won't take no shit from no one
If you play with his money he'll pick up his gun

Don't play with my old man
Don't mess with my old man

He takes care of his wife provides for his kids
When he's drinkin' gin you'll see how mean he is
You better finish your dinner and wash up your plate
'Cause if he finds a crumb he'll take the belt off his waist

Don't play with my old man
Don't mess with my old man

Voice like a dog and he's ready to bite
If you cross the line then he's ready to fight
He'll look you straight in the eye then punch you square in the nose
Don't mess with my old man 'cause as they sayin' goes

Don't mess with my old man
Don't mess with my old man
