Lyrics
I saw a guy on the street, he's a hescher with a gym bag
He hasn't bathed in a week and he's smelling like a wet rag
All the kids seem to know when he's coming
Nobody knows what bed he's been slumming
He's just a hescher with a gym bag
He's got no friends but he makes a healthy living selling dime bags
He's underage so he a little help scoring zig-zags
All the kids seem to know when he's coming
Nobody knows what bed he's been slumming
It's been a year or so since he's seen his mom or dad
But everybody tells me that he ain't all that bad
He's just a hescher with a gym bag
Some may question why he's motivated
He's only trying to make ends meet
I think I know the only explanation
Everybody's got to eat
Yeah
Gym bag
He's just a hescher with a gym bag
All the kids seem to know when he's coming
Nobody knows what bed he's been slumming
It's been a year or so since he's seen his mom or dad
But everybody tells me that he ain't all that bad
He's just a hescher with a gym bag
