Probably, doesn't have a care in the world
Standing there with a girl, on his arm-piece
Like Movado
His other arm hugging…
Big deal! if he was so hot, he would have a big deal
With Russ and them dudes
So he's with the League, fuck them too
Fuck his whole…

With a little fame, he looks Spanish
Jose is probably his middle name
Jealous Ones Still Envy, and…

Justice will come as long as we don't give up

There are eyes staring out in the dusk
Lights shining out in dark, arm-in-arm
Mothers who lost their children, circling to guard their neighborhoods
And stem the…

We're standing and calling out
The whole community is calling out
Because if chains are to fall
It's time to rise up
[Chorus…

One and two man I gotta find a meaning, to the numbers
That be hindering me inside of my slumber
Thinkin' about all I've…
…all of my walls are covered in
Ones and twos and threes and scribblings that I cannot read
I close my eyes and dream about the…
…horrible things
And when I wake up the walls are clean
Was it just a fucking nightmare causing me to lose it?
I can feel her standing…

…devil to pay
He takes his cut
I don't mind much
But sometimes its over the quota
Cobras in a karma coma
My mind's on a kettle one and…
…soda
Before the coda
My girl's on my arm, she takes enough for the both us
The story said they found the wrong bones
Looking for the ones…
…wrong blood
Sirens
Mixing with the call to prayer
Are you even there?

Trying to walk in the city of god
Here I am in the city of man
Standing on the same land…

They stitched my wheel stand and said I was O.K
They kicked me out the door with the left foot
And there was the shrink, he was standing by the…
He was playin' with some kinda plastic army tank
So I patted him on the head
Then I looked outside, and the grass was lookin' long…
…that tasted like candy canes
There were the ones that we fixed in your arm
And the ones that we stuck in your butt."
And…

…hope they love me
It's the return of the ghost, the raising of the dead
And the cloning approach shadows stick the foot of your bed
With…
…windy notes, so fog the window with breath
I drag my footprints through your grass and all across your garden
I never know…
…ringin' loud
A cigarette burns out inside my left hand
And dust the cane and bottle cacophony off of me standing
And…
