[Verse] Well I got a Senator over in Texas got me a judge down in New Orleans. Bought me a Senator over in Texas and a judge down in New Orleans ummm hummmm Sometimes I call the world my oyster sweetest little deal you’ve ever seen. [Verse] Well the one kid’s high on God knows what and the other one smashed the Benz. Between the bank boys and the lawyers I don’t know where it ends. Sometimes I got to wonder about living high on the hog. There’s times I wish I’d married me a woman instead of buying this here show dog. Can’t say the old man didn’t warn me when he’s bringin’ me judgment day And one little thing I forgot to remember there’s a matter of some hell to pay [Verse] And then here comes shifty and his new 150 wants to take me for a ride. Saying hey little mamma how ’bout a little drama. Why don’t you just hop in inside? Said I might look like a yokel but I’m high tech mogul with a tiger in my tank I said oh my goodness you’re a real smooth talker I believe I’ll take that drink. But first thing buddy better cool your jets before you make your play You gotta feed the kitty and oh yes well there’s a matter of some hell to pay. [Verse] Well now you got your devil in the details. Got your devil in the cake You can’t look around most anywhere that the devil ain’t on the take He’s waiting on down at the end of the aisle he’s a waiting at the pearly gates. I’d say the man’s about everywhere ubiquitous some might say Truth is he’s worn out all us fools ain’t no one left to play He’s bored he’s mad he’s all shook up and there’s gonna be hell to pay. [Verse] We’ve dirtied up the waters and pretty much trashed the earth The butcher and the baker and everybody else has taken it for all it’s worth. Sayin “me oh my it was a big old pie and I sure as hell filled my cup” That Senator’s a comin’ on a big white horse and the judge is gonna fix me up but if ya complicate this moment it’s time to fight and pray Cause now it’s time for the money shot baby time’s up and there’s hell to pay

La chanson exprime un sentiment d'inquiétude face à la corruption et aux excès de la vie moderne, où l'argent et le pouvoir semblent dominer les relations humaines. Elle évoque une réalité où les personnages se débattent entre leurs désirs matériels et les conséquences de leurs choix, soulignant que, malgré toutes les richesses et les connexions, il existe un moment où il faudra rendre des comptes. Le tout se déroule dans un cadre où les protagonistes sont entourés de figures influentes, comme des sénateurs et des juges, ce qui met en lumière les dessous parfois malfaisants de la société. Au fil des vers, on ressent une montée de tension, comme si une tempête se préparait et qu'il était temps de faire face aux responsabilités, tout en insistant sur l'idée qu'il y a un prix à payer pour nos actions.
