Hookers and Blow
Home Dreams and Financial Strains: Unveiling the True Message of Fogg Warner's 'Hookers and Blow'
Lyrics
I just wanna buy a home
I desire to purchase a home.
But I can't get a loan
I'm unable to secure a loan for the home purchase.
And that's because I'm unemployed
The reason for loan rejection is my current unemployment.
But I got a wad in my savings
I have a substantial amount of money in savings.
I could buy a new Mercedes
I could use the savings to buy a new Mercedes.
That don't mean a thing to my bank
However, this purchase won't positively impact my bank situation.
They think I'll blow
The bank believes I might squander my entire loan.
My whole loan
They anticipate me spending it on extravagant and irresponsible things.
On hookers and blow
Specifically, on engaging in activities involving prostitutes and cocaine.
I don't get what makes up a FICO
I don't understand the factors that constitute a FICO score.
My best guess, the hell if I know
My best guess is uncertain; I lack knowledge about it.
But I'm not what they're looking for
I do not fit the criteria or profile that lenders are seeking.
I need more lines of credit
I need more opportunities for credit.
But I'm not a man for debt
However, I am averse to accumulating debt.
I don't spend what I don't have
I adhere to the principle of spending only what I possess.
I ain't gonna blow
I won't recklessly spend my entire loan.
My whole loan
This includes avoiding indulgence in activities like prostitution and drug use.
On hookers and blow
Reiteration of the commitment to responsible use of the loan.
Now I don't blame my bank
I don't hold my bank solely responsible for my situation.
But I wish they would take
I desire that my verbal assurance is sufficient for the bank.
My word when I say
I wish the bank would trust my word when I promise not to misuse the loan.
That I won't blow
An emphatic statement that I won't waste the entire loan.
My whole loan
Reassurance that I won't spend the loan on inappropriate activities.
On hookers and blow
Emphasis on the commitment to responsible financial behavior.
