Mantiqin’
Saved up my money and I'm ready for the weekend
Gather up the boys, yo we're going Mantiquin’
Carousing and browsing for something unique
‘Cause I buy junk, but I sell Mantiques
Little red wagon, Radio Fliers,
Rusty old tools or a bucket of wires
The Mantiquin' hustle makes me feel alive
I’m gonna buy it for 3, gonna sell it for 5!!!!
Mantiquin’ (x2)
My honkies and me look for rusty gold
If it can be bought, then it can be sold
This Mantiquin' crew’s got a level of refinement
If you can’t find a buyer, yo put it on consignment
Garage sales, Flea Markets, Church Bazaars
From Gas Station signs to Mantique Cars
From Key West to Burlington, Mantiquin’ Road Show
Mantique Row, time to fill up the Curioooooooooo
Mantiquin’ (x2)
(Instrumental Break w/ Scratching on Victrola)
Well.... My Chippendales house my Fabergés
I use candelabras to light my way
Down with the nephrite, down with the malachite
Rockin’ the Rococo - shout out: Duncan Phyfe
I got my own flavor and I call it Smart Deco
I got better deals than the Geico’s got Geckos
Suckas try to bid but I don’t hate them
Cause I be dropping names like Hester Bateman
