(Talking... True story. thats how we do. yeah. uh. . [verse]. Ayo. My nights are getting long. while my days are getiin shorter. you live for the moment.
Now she's waiting in the swing under the front porch light. The girls from work are going out tonight. All week long they've been making plans. Gonna look for love and find a man oh man.
I kill, kill, kill little girls. I kill, kill, kill little girls. It's such a thrill, thrill, thrill to the world. When I kill, kill, kill little girls.
As she drags on a cigarette. You can tell it's been her first pack. A leopard coat and piled high hair. Thick makeup, skin tight slacks. Tonight she's steppin' out.
Never thought that I could feel such a slap in the face. Since my semester in New York where I drank it away. Social strategies are taught to Bohemian crowds.
I never thought that anyone could do me like you do me. I never thought that love would get in the way. But there was magic in the air and there were stars out on the water.
Sittin' on the front porch, nothing but time. Missed you so bad, I'm about to go blind. I've got the window busted and the door kicked in. From the last time we said never again.
Rich man grew old, owned a mansion on top of the hill. Now he's sitting at the table with his lawyer. Goin' over his will 'cause he's ill. . The kids don't call, they're waitin' for the man to die.
Everybody likes a celebration. Happy music and conversation. I'd be lyin' if I said I didn't have the blues. . In the corner there's a couple dancin'.
It's a January night. There's a cold wind blowin'. But it's colder knowin'. You'll be gone a long time. . The weather man's right. There's a mean storm hissin'.
Turn away, turn away. I'm not sure I'd like you to see me this way. Most days these fangs are inside someone. So you cant see them when when I smile at you.
I may not be the best brother. But I try to teach him pride. I hide my paraphernalia when he climbs into my ride. . I watch him watching my actions. With those beautiful brown eyes.
A mother riding on a city bus. Kids are yelling kicking up a fuss. Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through. Somebody said, Don't you even care?.
They call me a wiseman but I believe. Wisdom is knowing what to seek. With a star as my guide I'm on my way. To see if heaven sent down a baby today. If I follow, I'll learn the way to go.
You say you're a shade in my face from my father's share crops. My people were slaves before yours invented hip-hop. Apologize but I'm in on the joke.
Down our long dusty driveway. I didn't want to go. But I set out with tears. In my eyes wonderin'. . An' Daddy took me by the hand. Looked down at the school bus.
When those Monday blues won't let go of you. Is there some place that you'd rather be?. I'd give anything to make your phone stop ringin'. Pull you into my arms and take you with me.
To me the only thing left after a while. Was that night we watched. Documentaries up through morning. And then you kicked me out. . You opened up your screen door.
I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside. Like my heart's sprung a big break. And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful. That I may never shake. . Now you might say that I was taking it hard.
Well, I came up from Goodland, Kansas. I turned eighteen today. I'm college bound for Lincoln. Nebraska's where I'll stay. . It's been my dream all my life.
