Why the fuck is a gallon of gas $38? Why? It's the same gas that we was using in fucking 2001 when Bush invaded fucking Afghanibubastan. Why the fuck am I paying this much money for gas? It don't even last that fucking long! It's 98% ethanol now. I'm getting more corn oil than I am getting gas. Four dollars and eighty-nine cents to $8,000 a gallon. Why? It's the same fucking gas. Same petrol, don't give me this Strait of Hormuz is closed. Nigga open that shit. I know a nigga named Hormuz and he ain't even straight. That nigga is gay so he can open that shit in the who. Why the fuck are we waiting on this shit? Give me my gas! Give me better gas prices. Just lower them shits, put it on credit. There's no reason why I'm paying 44 fucking dollars to get 2 fucking gallons of gas. And this shit don't even last as long as it's supposed to. Did it evaporate out the fucking exhaust pipe? Where is this gas going? What kind of gas are y'all using? This ain't real gas no more. Are y'all using carbon monoxide? This can't be the gas. This can't be the same gas they use in NASCAR or in the F1. This ain't, this ain't real gas. Y'all just might as well fill my shit up with kerosene or use the shit that Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars use. I'm just gonna pull my car back, let them wheels click and then let my car go and ride off in the fucking distance. Imma get one of them big ass Hot Wheel turners and let you know them shits that spin real fast and the car touches and takes off. Imma build them shits right outside my house and let it go and just take the power all the way home. It's ridiculous. It's cheaper for me to just put my foot out the car and kick that motherfucker. Imma get Fred Flintstone to build a car at this point. A Ford Flintstone. That's what we gonna get. A Ford F. Flintstone. Yabba dabba drive that motherfucker. For you young niggas that don't know what the Flintstones is, it's not just vitamins. It was some old niggas used to watch on the silver screen when their parents gave them a nickel to go out and get a Charleston Chew and eat before the black people had to get out of town. I didn't say that.
