Supermarket Sweep Songtext
von Chords

It started in ′91, my partner and I would come
To the store empty handed and part with about a ton of merch
And see how much it was worth
All the expensive shit got stuffed in my shirt
Hustlin' work, we′d steal 'til our muscles would hurt

And we really didn't care if we got rushed by the clerks
See, in the hundred yard dash, no one came close to me
Not even if my jeans were full of groceries
Took the good shit, didn′t fuck with the rest
Left stores with TVs tucked in my vest
And even though I might not boost as much

It′ll be a cold day in hell before I lose the touch


Listen, compared to me you like a little baby
I stole my first marker back in '85
When I wrote graffiti and it made me laugh
And just go into the stores and raid the aisle
And I know my mother wonder how she raised her child
Gave me a bunch of rules and made me stay inside
Nothing seemed to work, I guess I′m just a shady type
Criminal to the bone marrow, hate to buy

Originator while you plagiarize
And I'm not doing this just to save a dime
And not ′cause I'm too hot to wait in line
To me, it′s not a trend, it's a way of life

It's the supermarket sweep, it′s all gotta go
Join the fun, cut your costs, save a whole lotta dough
They might have eyes, but they won′t spot a pro
They got courts and promo in the store on the low
In the supermarket sweep, it's all gotta go
Join the fun, cut your costs, save a whole lotta dough
Yo, they might have eyes, but they won′t spot a pro
They got courts and promo in the store on the low

Those were the days, now we're off to bigger and better things
Candy bars don′t fill the belly of seasoned veterans

We got a plan, it's like Ocean′s Eleven

Alright, I know the spot, but it's closing at seven

According to the bredrent, the place is a dead end


So if we hit it right, it will make us a legend
If we figure out how to get over the big doors
Shit, I got a duffel bag and it's colder than tin foil
That′s great, but what about the security cams?
Don′t worry about it, it won't ruin the plans
And the guards? Won′t expect it
The alarm? Disconnected
All we really gotta do is stay calm and collected
In and out, poof, gone in a second
The damn guard isn't even armed with a weapon

Step on the brake, pull over the car and park it
We here, man, we reached the target

It′s the supermarket sweep, it's all gotta go
Join the fun, cut your costs, save a whole lotta dough
They might have eyes, but they won′t spot a pro
They got courts and promo in the store on the low
In the supermarket sweep, it's all gotta go
Join the fun, cut your costs, save a whole lotta dough
Yo, they might have eyes, but they won't spot a pro
They got courts and promo in the store on the low

We came in the door, done it before
Never let the laws patronize us no more
It′s time to settle the score with this dirty business
Let the customers here be the first to witness

The looting of a lifetime in front of they eyes
Let′s take the shopping cart for the ruggedest ride
And leave the manager standing there wondering why
Why? We left his baby like a motherless child

We don't even hide the shit
I walk by the register with an entire fridge
Look the store detective in the eye and spit
Tell him we know where he lives if he try to snitch
And tell him mind his biz, I′m coming back for more shit
Moving caseloads out the front with the forklift
Courts in the back, promo lead the way
No miss, I'm fine, thanks, nothing for me today

Rolling the trolleys and the wheelbarrows
We don′t give a fuck if the aisle's real narrow
Stealing everything, including kitchen sink
And if we get caught, we won′t admit a thing
We just rolling the trolleys and the wheelbarrows
We don't give a fuck if the aisle's real narrow
Stealing everything, including kitchen sink
And we don′t give a fuck what you bitches think

It′s the supermarket sweep, it's all gotta go
It′s fun, it's cheap, save a whole lotta dough
They might peep, but they won′t spot a pro
'Cause the way we creep, ain′t no way you would know
Supermarket sweep, it's all gotta go
It's fun, it′s cheap, save a whole lotta dough
They might peep, but they won′t spot a pro
Courts and promo in the store on the low
