UNDER A SEA OF DOUBT
I WRITE THESE SONGS
UNDER A SKY OF GREY
I BARELY HOLD ON
AND AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE OCEAN I SIT
WATCHING BLURRY
FIGURES ABOVE AS THEY SWIM
I ONCE FOUND A WOMEN
WHO SAID I WAS GOLD
PICTURES OF US IN BLACK AND WHITE
GETTING OLD
I GUESS I’M GROWN NOW
ON MY OWN NOW
I GUESS ONLY GOD
CAN LOVE ME

WITH YOU STRETCHED OUT
IN FRONT OF ME
HONEY DIPPED SKIN
YOU SAY YOU BEEN LOVING ME
BUT BABY YOU CAN BE SO COLD
AT TIMES IT FEELS LIKE YOU RUNNING ME
AND HOW MANY NIGHTS
WILL I SLEEP ALONE
THINKING OF OTHER TIMES
WHEN WE MADE A HOME
WHEN THINGS WERE GOOD
AND DADDY DID NOT ROME
WHEN WE WERE BACK TO BACK
NOT STONE TO STONE

MAMA’S BEEN CRYING ON THE WEEKDAY NIGHTS
MAMA’S BEEN LYING TO HER BABY BOY
MAMA’S BEEN BROKEN CAST FROM LIGHT
MAMA’S LOST THAT THAT FEELING OF JOY

BURN MOTHER FUCKER
THIS IS PERSONAL
BURN MOTHER FUCKER
THIS IS PERSONAL HELL

MY BEST FRIEND
WAS DEAD BEFORE HE DIED
I WAS AN UNWANTED TWINKLE
IN MY DADDY’S EYES
AND I BEEN HIGH
SINCE JUNIOR HIGH
AND YES I HAVE LIED
MY DEVIL IS WHISKEY
AND A WOMEN WITH LONG BLACK HAIR
SHE LIKES ME A LOT
AND HAPPILY SITS THERE
SHE WATCHES ME
SLOWLY DISSIPATE
AND HAS A SMIRK
AT MY WAKE
IT’S LATE NIGHT
I’M WATCHING MY MOON
ON MY LEFT ARM
I HAVE IT TATTOOED
AND I SING TO HER
BUT SHE NEVER
COMES DOWN
TO POOR BOY
WHO’S SUBJECT TO
THE GROUND

MY HOMIES SO HIGH
THEY SEEN GOD’S EYES
BUT THEY WENT AND
SMOKED THEMSELVES BLIND
FORGOT WHAT IT WAS
THEY WERE TRYING TO FIND
GAVE UP
MY VERSION OF THE STREETS
IS LITTLE LESS DRAMATIC
BUT PEOPLE TO DIE
WHEN CAUGHT UP IN STATIC
MY RHYMES DON’T COME
WITH RAZOR SHARP LINES
THEY’RE LIKE A DULL KNIFES
CAN YOU FEEL IT

BABY BOY’S GOT BLOND HAIR AND BLUE EYES
BABY BOY HAS GOT A COMPLEX
BABY BOY’S GOT BROWN HAIR AND GREY EYES
BABY BOY GOT THE DOCTOR UPSET
