Lyrics:
The brother took all he could
This story don't prove that he ain't no good
Possum Slim (my man)
And I don't want you to mess with him
(Feel the spirit moving)
pray he falls.
But don't feel sorry for me.
Things weren't always this bad.
Why when I was a young talking goat,
The Old Man was just like my dad.
I
And though I never married
As a young man I might have come close
From somewhere back east
She came to the valley
With a man who did her no good
He was
the strongest man that ever lived on earth
One day while Samson was walking along
He looked down on a the ground and saw an old jaw bone
He stretched out his
and tore up good
Down on Copperline
It doesn't come as a surprise to me
It doesn't touch my memory
Man I'm lifting up and rising free
Down on over
I loved my uncle, god rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold
And I left his dead ass there
By
Gonna put my good foot forward,
And stop being influenced by fools.
So much oppression,
Can't keep track of it no more.
So much oppression,
Can't
Circus
A mass of people movin' here and there I wandered where
On every face at every place was hurry up I'm late
But a kind old man at a chestnut
they just don't mean me
No doggone good
My landlady came by my apartment
She came by just to make up my bed
But it took her all night long
Can you
Yeah
What's up, baby?
I ain't tryna do nothing but get my grown man on
I ain't tryna hurt you
Only if you want me to
Haha
Yeah, something like
(yes)
Bring it on down to my house honey, ain't nobody home but me
Bring it on down to my house honey, I need your company
Say old man, can ya play
cold
And the morning's feeling very old.
Fifteen months of time my man's been gone.
The second winter now is coming on.
And our fates could all be worse
I was looking for a cheap car in the Sunday classifieds
When an ad jumped out and hit me right between my bugged out eyes
It was a two year old
Are you living in an old man's rubble?
Listening to the father of lies?
If you are then you're headed for trouble.
Listen too long, you'll
Thrown off the bridge
To the river by the ridge
Was the iron mountain baby
A man walking by
Said he heard a little cry
And he found him in
See I was 6 years old with a dream
When my Moms told me I can do anything
Said she'd be there forever
No matter what's the weather
She'd always have
fight the good fight
Even on the bad days
It's darkest before light
I'm gonna push through
When you a man, action is what's expected, nothing is spoken
Hey, you know, everybody's talkin' about the "good old days," right? (Yeah)
Everybody, the good old days, the good all days (yeah, the good ol'
You know sometimes, I don't know why
But this old town just seems so hopeless
I ain't really sure, but it seems I remember the good times
Were
block wit' the same crew
'N' everybody sitting fat living good
'N' I'm the only nigga dat be rappin' in my hood
I was raise by the hustlas 'n' gain by
kissin'
Now your family don't like me, this I understand
I don't wanna settle down, I am just a ramblin' man
I'd rather be out rockin' with my good old
and the house
Don't make the woman
So I need someone
To stand by me
And supply my needs
And I'm just plain old Mary
Deep inside I wish that you could see
That
Oh Lord!
Gimme that God Almighty
That good old Gospel
That old school doctrine
Oh Lord!
Gimme that truth for the body
Ain't nothing new about
today,
Feel tomorrow lak ah feel today,
I'll pack my trunk, make ma git away.
Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings
Pulls dat man 'roun' by her
