I got lines across my face
ten bucks left of mine that I wont waste,
I got dirt in both my shoes
one blown speaker in the door of my car,
the other one's goin' too.
I got no job no place to stay, no where to work and it feels okay.
I can't scam, I don't know how
I can't cheat a fella to his face and live that down,
and I can't steal, cause that's not fair,
I tried to rob a downtown grocery store, but wal-mart beat me there
I got no job I'm goin fast, the dollar I spent, well it might be my last.
I'm no saint, well not no more
It's just another one of the names that I'll never afford
and I'm unsafe anytime
I've gotta learn to fight or run, a stick and a gun, just to keep what's mine
I got no job no fear of the law. You know what? I think it'll get me so so far.
I got paid a visit by
a fella in a black and white uniform,
who punched me in the eye.
And he said son, you better move on through,
this side of the tracks is for the suits and the slacks, not the folks like you.
But I said "Sir, listen what I say..."
and then I gave him a piece of what he had coming. And I got hauled away.
I got five years without parole, but lord one punch it was worth it, it cured my soul.
