Lyrics:
Well, I lay my head on the railroad track
Waiting on the double E
But the train don't run by here no more
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor
In the summer that I was baptized
My father held me to his side
As they put me into the water
He said how on that day I cried
We were prisoners
that bad or was I good enough?
I'm under pressure, I can't run plays like this
My mama always said that there'll be days like this
I'm all alone by
own rules"
Mama put the car in park out there in front of the school
And she kissed her head and said, "I was just like you"
You're gonna miss this
Well you say we are through and for me to me move on
But tell me sweet mama will you cry when I'm gone
Are you sure you mean it when you tell me
to Meeeexico
Called up my mama, said I'm in love with a stripper, yo
Ten grand, let me see you shake it like you got no
bones in your body and you was made
I was born by the railroad tracks
Well the train whistle wailed and I wailed right back
Well papa left mama when I was quite young
He said now
and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Can't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
You load sixteen tons,
Ms. Third Ward, your first question:
What is your aspiration in life?
Oh, well my aspiration in life would be
To be happy
Mama said, you're
Nobody knows just what became of ophelia
Where have you gone?
Was it something that somebody said?
Mama, you know we broke the rules
Was somebody up
Hey baby won't you stop what you're doin'
Go on home put your red dress on
Tell you mama I said not to worry
I'll have you home before the break
daughter came home one afternoon
And didn't even stop to play
And she said, "mom, I got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA"
Well, the note said
Gonna rock this land
Gonna take this itty bitty world by storm
And I'm just getting warm
Dig it
I'm gonna knock you out (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Mama said
mama, please tell her I said, "Say something"
I'm startin' to believe ain't no such thing as Heaven's trumpets
No after-over, this is it, done
If
serious (I wanna be your man)
Yeah, mama, yeah, mama, I'm daddy, no, I'm not
You're a lot of fucking problems, you gon' prolly show true colors
By
make a friend, y'all
Paddle on just around the bend and
Find a place where you can see
All the mamas and the papas
Take a chance on a recommend,
In the summer that I was baptized
My father held me to his side
As they put me into the water
He said how on that day I cried
We were prisoners
Last night I had a dream that the world was changin'
Changin' by leaps and bounds
It started up in the bigger cities
And it's spread to the smaller
for you
I said I'd do this for my culture
To let y'all know what a nigga look like in a bulletproof Rover
In my mama's sofa was a doo-doo popper
daughter came home one afternoon
And didn't even stop to play
She said, "Mom, I got a note here
From the Harper Valley PTA"
Well, the note says, "Mrs.
Yo
I go by the name of Kan the louis Vuitton Don
I'm chillin with my homegirl Myleka
And she wanted to let you
Know something real quick
Baby, don’t
Living off the friends we made
Never ever getting paid
Kicking ass and paying dues
Lose our mind in self abuse
Loving ladies by the score
of Chi where death is
Top floor of the view alone will leave you breathless
Try to catch it, it's kinda hard
Getting choked by detectives yeah, yeah,
(When they come to hear you play)
I don't remember mama
She died when I was born
We lived in a one room shanty
But daddy tried to make it a home
