|
Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind |
|
And other times, sunshine, high head fine |
|
In between I get cold, old mean |
|
Intertwined with country pride, open and kind |
|
This draws a line, sorry to coin a phrase |
|
And on either side is wisdom and rage |
|
So keeping track of time, racing with my age |
|
Sleeping with the snakes, forget that you showed up late |
|
It ain't worth it baby |
|
A charmed life it is, at least they tell you so |
|
I got a good idea, it ain't like they say is so |
|
And if it is then let me go, let me go |
|
Any day there might be hell to pay |
|
But in other ways it makes it seem ok |
|
I'll tell you what I mean, it's not a plot nor a scheme |
|
It's just peace in my mind, again, can I use the word kind? |
|
I ain't sorry about it baby |
|
A charmed life it is, at least they tell you so |
|
I got a good idea, it ain't like they say is so |
|
And if it is then let me go, let me go, let me go |
