lyrics

VERSE
When you woke up and I could not be found
You woke up, I was out and around
You know I took my bike out to the edge of our place
Rode it off a ledge and nearly broke face
Cracked my arm in 2 places, broke my nose now what a face you see
What a face you see
Everybody’s gotta story to tell
I’m no different boy, can’tcha tell
I’m a sad-eyed son with rocks in my pocket
Waiting for the moment
I could throw ‘em like a rocket… Well I
I threw down upon that hornet’s nest
I felt poison sinkin’ in my chest

CHORUS
It’s a real bad way to make your mama cry mercy
It’s a real bad way to make your daddy holla hurry
On a sad-eyed son who said nothin’ can be done
I know the past is over while the future’s come and gone

VERSE
Am I good as I could get, am I low as I could go
Everybody’s talkin’ don’t ya, don’t ya, don’t ya know
You say nobody’s got it quite like me
Can’t hear ya bitcin’ while you’re hangin’ from a tree
I’ll light a fire to your pretty red hair
Am I am man now on behalf of your despair

CHORUS
It’s a real bad way….
