[00:02.640] Show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos
[00:05.511] Show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos
[00:08.480] Show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos
[00:11.424] First job was a shoe store
[00:13.886] Water Tower Place on the top floor
[00:16.103] First check paid above board
[00:18.435] I managed the stock room
[00:19.827] Taking extra breaks in the washroom
[00:22.040] Polos and khakis like a State Farm costume
[00:24.974] My boss was a lot like Mike Scott
[00:27.207] His coffee was piping hot and his breath stank
[00:29.823] Ex-military, but low rank
[00:31.614] He trusted me too much
[00:33.100] I took it as an insult
[00:34.637] I took me some Timbos
[00:36.103] They put me on the sales floor
[00:38.023] Show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos
[00:42.297] They put me on the sales floor
[00:43.995] Show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos, show the Mephistos
[00:48.442] Commission on the check was the lick tho'
[00:50.854] Show the Mephistos, they conform to your feet tho'
[00:53.663] They better than Eckos, they killing the Danskos
[00:56.665] They three hundred bucks tho', I feel like an asshole
[00:59.645] I brought out the white pair
[01:01.155] Them try-on socks is like some tiny little pantyhose
[01:04.289] But they killing the Havana Joes
[01:06.573] Pinocchio with a banana nose
[01:08.759] But I'ma show the Mephistos, they put me on the sales floor
[01:12.774] Show the Mephistos, they put me on the sales floor
[01:15.744] Show the Mephistos, they put me on the sales floor
[01:18.720] Show the Mephistos, they put me on the sales floor (They put you on the sales floor?)
[01:21.924] ****in' Mephistos
[01:23.178] I swore the homie Drone found the cheat code
[01:25.501] Wealthy ladies lie 'bout they feet growth
[01:27.719] They blame it on me, bro
[01:29.158] Not cool
[01:30.024] So now this spook haunting the stockroom
[01:32.083] Stacks of packing slips where I plot moves
[01:34.413] Assistant manager, call her Gwendolyn
[01:36.483] Chat her up while Drone was restocking the Timbalands
[01:39.480] Like, "Get me some cigarettes"
[01:40.959] Slid her a fin and get us a two pack
[01:42.610] Let her keep the twenty cents change
[01:45.654] Game, third floor, great legs, tho'
[01:47.226] Not really a looker
[01:48.487] Flirt for Auntie Annie pretzels, hot cinnamon sugar
[01:51.402] Hit Mickey D's for that wack check burger
[01:53.689] To spend my last, like my white boss would brag, he did on Black sex workers
[01:57.521] Pandering to that goofy had me feeling the blues
[02:00.447] So "volunteer for trash duty" meant "I'm stealing your shoes"
[02:03.631] ****in' Mephistos
[02:05.262] Three years after Black Shampoo turned to Wilco
[02:08.271] My eyes on them low cut Timbos
[02:10.577] Army green and black with the steel toe
[02:12.981] Like how the hell I work and be still broke?
[02:15.059] Mephisto? Ain't that short for Mephistopheles?
[02:18.395] Comic irony, the hellscape where we felt so trapped was stocking these
[02:22.312] And Dansko clogs from the first thirteen colonies, ugh
