Just like seventies goofballs He's waiting on last calls Well listen to Method Man 'Cause if you leave him the last line Don't leave him the brown kind Born just a little too slow Just a little too slow Just a little too Oh your lights are burning too Just a little too Oh just a little too 'Cause if he picks up the wrong kind You'll know you'll be turning blind Gun at your head Lay him down just the wrong way You know that he's turning gray Born just a little too slow Oh your lights are burning too, Burning too, burning too slow. Oh your lights are burning too, just a little too. Just a little too Your lights are burning too Just a little too Oh your lights are burning too Just a little to slow 'Cause if you leave him the last line Don't leave him the brown kind Well listen to Method Man So if you're leavin' him callin' You know you'll be fallin' Lights are burning low Your stars are burnin' gold Lights are burning low. Your stars are burnin' gold Born just a little too
