|
If it takes too long |
|
Can you give me time? |
|
To make it come alive |
|
I won't be bought |
|
And I can't be sold |
|
And I'm not that old |
|
Broken hands toil on |
|
Take away the ties |
|
Let me see the light |
|
I'm a Black Eyed Dog |
|
And a Ghetto Child |
|
Cut me loose, I'm running wild |
|
Down your diving for a penny |
|
Street smart tough and iron wise |
|
Best of it you bet I'm making |
|
Yet I never have a dime |
|
Brother can you help me |
|
Learn to help myself |
|
This is not a dream |
|
Just the way things be |
|
Fighting for my sanity |
|
Resort to thievery |
|
Just to get on by |
|
'Cause I refuse to live to die |
|
All my friends are dead |
|
Or rotting in a cell |
|
But I'll see them when I get to Hell |
|
Have a drink on me |
|
From this bag of wine |
|
All we have is time |
|
Down your diving for a penny |
|
Streets smart tough and iron wise |
|
Best of it you bet I'm making |
|
Yet I never have a dime |
|
Brother you can't help me |
|
Let me help myself |
|
I ain't the one |
|
You'll never break me see |
|
I'm not the one to taste your treachery |
|
Accuse me now |
|
Right here to my face |
|
I laugh at you and put you in your place |
|
I'll stand my ground / no won't go easy |
|
Oh they stare me down / no I won't go easy |
|
Tear me down / Won't go easy |
|
Bring it on / Won't go easy |
|
I ain't the one |
|
You'll never break me see |
|
I'm not the one to taste your treachery |
|
Accuse me now |
|
Right here to my face |
|
Laugh at you |
|
and put you in your place |
