作词 : Maxi Jazz, Rollo ... | |
Beg you listen me, don't be kissing me til I'm done | |
Unsung champion of reason | |
Like seasoning, pepper your thoughts with spice | |
And entice you to a space where I dwell where bass players | |
And layers of loops think what I think with my prayers, its nice | |
My world is everything I've become | |
Contained in the hum between voice and drum | |
I'm coming from the same place I'm-a still running from | |
But even sitting in the garden one can still get stung | |
I'm on Lonely Street, age nearly three | |
Recently mama's crying all the time, is it because of me | |
Or my younger sister, even dad was weeping when he kissed her | |
Face all puffy like a blister, crying like he missed her | |
Since we moved away from the house where we use to play | |
They say I'll understand one day | |
But I doubt it, mama never say nothing about it | |
How'd it get to be so crowded, I found it | |
A strain, everywhere I look I see pain | |
And I can't escape the feeling maybe I'm to blame | |
So I strain to listen, praying for a decision, wishing | |
They were kissing, this feels like extradition | |
Or exile, mama finds it hard to smile | |
So I make pretend cups of coffee in her favourite style | |
She says, "Child, I'm working so there's nothing you lack." | |
But she know, I want my dad, I want my family back | |
I'm on Lonely Street, age forty-three | |
Couldn't gauge when to quit so my wife quit me | |
Took offence, took the kids, I wish that was the end | |
But before she took her leave she took care of my best friend | |
Working all the hours God sent was not the tactic | |
You see cause after ten years I'm left with jack shit | |
Wanted to make the cash quick, so I had to work real late | |
Mad sex, my woman's vexed even if I stay awake | |
And if I'm honest, I had a little cake at the office | |
I was eating, we'd do our cheating over coffees | |
Making tea for their bosses, making free with me | |
And I agree I got sleazy too easily | |
But I'm forty-three, this doesn't usually happen to me | |
Now I'm lonely, I wondering what my son's doing today | |
Suddenly I'm blinking like the screen on my computer display | |
And I'm drinking, concerned about what's down the track | |
If I don't get my family back | |
I'm on Lonely Street, number fifty-three | |
Boarded up properly, I'll probably get pulled down | |
Litter all around, inside there's no sound and no light | |
But yo it gets busy at night | |
People creeping, derelicts sneaking in to fix, speaking | |
On the way my timbers creaking, roof leaking | |
And bricks coming loose, knee-high in refuse | |
But even though I'm a slum, I'm still of some use | |
There was a time my walls were decorated | |
And under my roof, children were educated | |
But now paint's faded, windows are all smashed | |
A crash in the economy robbed me of my family | |
And no strategy combats negative equity | |
So that's it, like violence it's drastic | |
I'm freaking, and seeking to be more than just a house for crack | |
Somebody bring my family back |
