My man was workin' at the seafood spot. Sellin' fish 'n chips and dealin' bags of pot. Dressed in a pirates uniform and all. Lookin' like a fool, headin' for a fall.
I got outta town. Like I knew I should. I got outta town. Like I knew I would. . But when I close my eyes. And the dawn don't come. I think to myself.
For forty days and for forty nights. I been walkin' down these streets. Tryin' to get it right. . But down there lies darkness. Down there lies the past.
Within this box there is a gift. And with this cane I concentrate. And with these shoes I go flying. 'Til the demons all wake up and come to grips. . And I take my sins.
Well, my heart breaks every time I see her. And my heart breaks every time I turn around. (Woo hoo hoo). And my heart breaks every time I hear her name.
I fell from my rope. My vision is cloudy. The outlook is lousy. I hope I find the strength to go on. . I fall to my knees. To look for an answer. Find out what the chances are.
Sixteen heartbeats works for everyone. If I return dying, could I expect enough?. You know it seems to me at least it seems to me, now. To be a little out of reach.
The only easy day is yesterday. Go on and pull me underwater. I know you really can't be that blind, son. But I think you think you're that much smarter.
What had been had happened? Say what. Dyin' to be tryin' but comfy in the cut. See I be gettin' four from the score, plus three more. And I'll be damned if you treat me like some whore.
Come over here girl, whip it out and show the world. It ain't the time for lyin' with your mocha swirl. Everybody gangsta, everybody blood and cripin'.
For me it's hard to say. And this might not be the way. But if you want to stay. . My ghetto prince. Is smiling underground. And it makes me feel good.
