Lyrics:
Well, I quit my job down at the car wash
Left my mama a goodbye note
By sundown I'd left Kingston
With my guitar under my coat
I hitchhiked all
Well, I quit my job down at the car wash
Left my mama a goodbye note
By sundown I'd left Kingston
With my guitar under my coat
I hitchhiked all
Well, I quit my job down at the car wash
I left my mama a goodbye note
By sundown I'd left Kingston
With my guitar under my coat
I hitchhiked
Like a K9 when he pickin' the scent up
Seventeen in the stair-, yo
Ayy, seventeen in the stairway, hustlin' drugs
Listenin' to Grandmaster by GZA
Beat-up little seagull on a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean, lookin' everywhere
Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain't nowhere
He wore a malo and a coconut hat
One was for this and the other for that
All the people shouted as he went by
He was the cockeyed mayor
The cars come up the drive, so many people inside,
Under the stars they smile,
They want to invade my home
I pace the darkened hall, try
Say a prayer for all the souls in bloom cut down
Far too soon under the scarlet moon...
Under the scarlet moon...
Say a prayer...
So, what are
Nihilistic architect
Zionistic inchworm
Slithering under forced occupation
I breath the air because it's free
Your outlaw wisdom crooked nose has

I'm with you once more, under the stars
And down by the shore, an orchestra's playing
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin

I'm with you once more, under the stars
And down by the shore, an orchestra's playing
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin
I know how to hold a grudge
I can send a bridge up in smoke
And I can't count the people I've let down, the hearts I've broke
You ain't gotta dig
The cars come up the drive, so many people inside,
Under the stars they smile,
They want to invade my home
I pace the darkened hall, try
You thought I was rich
And I am but not how you think
I live in a Tudor house
Under the freeway in Mar Vista by the beach
When you call I take my
Oh, oh darlin',
Little darlin',
Did you ever see such a stormy sky?
It's never been like this before.
All the people,
They're runnin'.

Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside
(Pinch me) Like a dream you try to remember
years my people raised cotton
Till granddaddy lost this land
Now we're scattered all over this end of the state
Gettin' by any way that we can
But
people watching me
I never miss a beat
Steal the night
Kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right
Keep it tight
Cause it's pulling you
joy when I see the work done under,
By the people under.
Well, that's something I really want you to know,
Yeah! People under, yeah!
I'm talking

Put your feet in the air
People under my stairs
Cold hearted my stare
Buy one hoe unprotected
Took some losses no question
But we only fear
out here
Workin' on the blues
So I carried on.
You can't be haunted by the past.
People come and people go.
And nothing ever lasts.
But I

Most people use money to measure success
The big car they're drivin' and the way that they dress
If there's someone who loves you you're richer by
know you see the bulge under the shirt, don't try
I know you people wishin' that one day we gon' stop
I know you recognize we got the game on lock
