Lyrics:
baby and me my baby and me
Mama was such a teaser
Daddy tried hard to please her
Started off with the preacher
In the name of the lord
In the name
forget-me-not whispers, daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot, turn up the band
And she was blinded by the light
Oh cut loose like a deuce, another runner
We did well by the water
By the water, by the water
We did well by the water
By the water in the well
Papa was a preacher's son
Said he never saved
Backseat of her daddy's car
I was trying not to go too far
Kept thinking about the words the preacherman said
Lightnin' flashed across the sky
I saw
Time for his lesson
As much as he hated it, the preacher was teachin' him to play the accordion.
"Don't go Georgie!" said the Reverend's daughter
goes by too fast
It'll take you anywhere you want to go
And every memory will bring you back
Down this road there's a small white church
Daddy
Time for his lesson
As much as he hated it, the preacher was teachin' him to play the accordion.
"Don't go Georgie!" said the Reverend's daughter
"When
you're by my side
When you take me for a buggy ride
Daddy, you're as sweet as you can be
When you take me for a buggy ride
When you set me down up
Daddy was a preacher at a little ol' church in town
So all I ever knew were the pews and lettin' him down
He used to always say "Son, don't forget
way
But I respect his decision
He's got a lot on his mind
He's pretty good with the gavel
A little heavy on the fines
One day there was this minstrel
Hey, when c.c. rider was just a snot-nosed kid
I was already known for doin' what i did
The women all screamed as i walked by
My daddy would curse

For Blanche Wiesen Cook
Born in the Bronx in '41, her daddy was a union man.
She's down at Barns & Noble
And life drifts slowly by in the provinces
Peter Foster goes to Gloucester for his first school day
Bites his teacher, sees a preacher and is taught
prayed one night, full off fear
Jesus appear, please save me
He never came and daddy rapped me
I will be by your side
He never came
He never came
I will be
And the sound of the Blue Whippoorwill
But there was no peace in the valley
Her daddy, a cruel, ruthless man
Used and abused her mind and her body
So her mama
the pulpit
Stressin' to heaven, seemed like I was born by mistake
While the races dominate, got me victim to the Legislate'
I'm playin' for kicks, hustle
Back seat of her daddy's car
I was tryin' not to go too far
Kept thinkin' 'bout the words the preacher man said
Lightning flashed across
the money got you doing shit that'll fuck up your pride
You ain't a hoe, you just really trying to get by
Every day looking up at the sky
Sometimes, shit
this very unpleasin' sneezin' and wheezin'
The calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was blinded by the light
this very unpleasin' sneezin' and wheezin'
The calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was blinded by the light
forget-me-not whispers, daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot, turn up the band
And she was blinded by the light
Oh cut loose like a deuce, another runner in
on some, "Stay solid" shit, used to make play by the colleges
JP brought Mason Turner, our sense the road was a major earner
Nigga, my life full
Well, the cop made the showdown
He was sure he was right
He had all of the lowdown
From the bank heist last night
His best friend was the robber
Well, the cop made the showdown
He was sure he was right
He had all of the lowdown
From the bank heist last night
His best friend was the robber
