Next Man Lyrics - Whitey Ford Sings The Blues - Everlast

Ha 

In there, but for the grace of God, go I 

It's cunning 

I wonder what it means? 

I rock a jam for love 

I quit my band for love 

I smack the chrome tool right out your hand for love 

Make you cry like a dove, leave you standing alone 

In a world so cold, watch the drama unfold 

'Cause you sold your soul, now you fearing your death 

Sniffin' crystal meth 'til their ain't nothin' left 

But, rock bottom hurts when you hit it 

You start to reflect on all the friends you shitted 

Your pride won't admit it, so you start to sink lower 

Your Caught in a flood, and you tryin' to find Noah 

If you hungry and you near me, yo, you gonna get fed 

If you sleepy and you need a place to lay yo' head 

Come take my bed, I'll sleep on the floor 

'Cause these are the times that friends are for 

[Chorus] 

I see everybody out here doin' for self 

And they don't give a damn on the next man 

Puttin' status and wealth over God and health 

I can't wait 'til you the next man 

I get uptight for love 

You know I'll fight for love 

And I might keep my wifey up all night for love 

And when the daylight comes, I be seein' mad bums 

With no shoes on their feet plus nothin' to eat 

I can't save the whole street, so I feel like I'm beat 

And why I play the game when nothin' gonna change? 

The only change that's wanted is loose in my jeans 

I get rushed on every corner by a bum or a fiend 

I'm tryin' to keep my diem, I try to give to the poor 

Tryin' to get through this life and get to that door 

I'm all up in this mix for these final ticks 

Going all the way to seven and it's half past six 

[Chorus] 

I pray to God for love 

I make G hot for love 

And I just might blow your freakin' car for love 

I make you sing "Hey Love" like my man King Sun 

I freak the art of noise over all you toys 

Better bring you boys, summon all you crew 

No matter what you do, it's coming back on you 

Just like a planet orbits, let your spunge absorb it 

Logical conclusion is B-boy fusion 

And confusion say that he want control 

Of your mentality, your body and your soul 

So if you lose your hold, come and take my hand 

And link up this chain, 'cause money that's the plan 

I'm tryin' to get through this maze, not to win this race 

We either ridin' on a horse or walkin' on our face 

So come take your place on the side of love 

And swallow up your ego and your pride for love 

[Chorus]
