Bundyisms: Bud's Rap
He came from the streets where everyone's meet
Guns in the night, but you wonder why she can't love no-one
'Cause he's on the run
Sleeps in the alley, wakes by the sun
Listen to the sirens, thinkin' they're for me
It's a lonely life for Grandmaster B
Yes, a lonely life for Grandmaster B.

Influences: The episode title is inspired by the song "If I Had a Hammer" by Peter, Paul and Mary.
