|
Boil my Strings
|
|
Living down here they throw me down and count me
|
|
I'm making this up, it keeps my feathers clean
|
|
and the black boys they kick my ass and tell me
|
|
that the women their ruby lips are dry.
|
|
I get angry and I get sad
|
|
and I lose this sweetness that I used to have
|
|
and I boil my strings
|
|
to get them back to gold
|
|
sleeping in here they give me plenty to eat
|
|
don't make trouble, make something with the concrete
|
|
so I fill my pipes with it to break them black boys heads
|
|
Lord, but I wish I had a gun.
