The Thin White Line
03:43

|
waitin round for somebody to get me
thinkin bout things that only upset me
realize i never dont feel empty
need to go out and find something to tempt me
lately i been feelin uptight
lately i been goin out nights
lately i been looking to pick fights
looking for something to get me right
the party dont start til i walk in
and im always looking for my man
he says its time to begin
and he puts a baggie in my hand
the anticipation's as good as the high
cutting up those pretty little white line
mirror reflection of my own eye
last thing i see before i die
i walk the thin white line
we got girls and we got booze
we got drugs and nothin to lose
we got options we dont choose
we wouldnt risk looking like fools
i walk the thin white line
my face is numb and my heart it racing
i wont stop talking and i cant stop pacing
i promised mama that id try to stay clean
but she dont understand the pressure that im facing
i walk the thin white line
an eight ball of the divine
im gonna get whats mine
i get mine
i walk the thin white line
mischievous duty of mine
im running out of time
i walk the thin white line
desire aint no crime
its just a steep decline
i walk the thin white line
and i am feeling fine
im gonna get whats mine
i get mine

A Man Who Begs
04:25

i went down to the store
i said "gimme all you got"
he said I got nothing
what he got was shot
i went down to the bank
i said "gimme the cash"
the teller gave me all he could
i still beat his ass
i went down to your house
i said "give me the money"
you said "take whatever you want"
and I said "I plan on it honey"
nothing I hate more than a man who begs
a man who begs
Who begs?
a man who begs...
it's ok to cry
cus you know you're gonna die
(and, you know? i get it, but)
just don't petition (me)
cus I won't listen
who begs?
a man who begs....

to either them or you,
don't ya think?
shame if something were to happen...

i love the way he wags his tail
and I love the way he barks
shame if something were to happen
you know how it can be
when dogs run off in the dark
shame if something were to happen...
huh...
shame
(shame if)
something were to happen
shame
(shame if
something were to happen)
if something were to happen to you
that would be a shame
shame if something were to happen
(something were to happen to you)
shame if something bad were to happen to you
no I'm not making threats I'm just saying it's a beautiful life you've built for yourself and I would hate to see anything happen
i would hate to see anything happen
Shame!

six months straight on the nightly news, yeah
(things are looking up)
things are
(for me now)
looking up for me now
