| [00:10.19] |
My parents got some big money problems |
| [00:13.81] |
We're all young and we're countin' on 'em |
| [00:15.63] |
I'm four years old, you think I'm bouncing on 'em? |
| [00:18.37] |
I just sit back and watch, thinkin' bout em |
| [00:21.95] |
Mom's probably stronger than Pops is |
| [00:23.72] |
The talk is, that the old man has lost it |
| [00:27.42] |
Last week he came back from work |
| [00:29.28] |
I saw him on the porch |
| [00:31.09] |
With a glass of milk in his shirt |
| [00:32.80] |
He was flippin' out |
| [00:33.73] |
Mom probably put it there |
| [00:35.56] |
Judging from how angry that she was |
| [00:37.36] |
It probably should be there |
| [00:39.19] |
Now both folks know that I'm standing there |
| [00:41.02] |
But Mama protects me |
| [00:42.88] |
Throws me behind her back |
| [00:44.68] |
Why did Papa do that? |
| [00:45.56] |
What's that tellin' me? |
| [00:47.33] |
Birds can't help but sing a melody. (I ain't stupid) |
| [00:52.73] |
Happy ever after is nothing but a fantasy |
| [00:58.14] |
Police are part of our family |
| [01:00.87] |
Son and mother look out from the porch |
| [01:03.65] |
See father's head duck under the door |
| [01:05.49] |
I believe in nothing |
| [01:11.79] |
I believe in myself |
| [01:16.23] |
I believe in nothing |
| [01:21.76] |
Nothing at all |
| [01:28.00] |
My papa got some big anger problems |
| [01:31.67] |
I'm getting older and I'm sick about 'em |
| [01:34.38] |
It's getting harder just to live around it |
| [01:37.01] |
I need to take a stand as a man, I need to be about it |
| [01:39.77] |
So ring around the posies round the living room table |
| [01:42.50] |
I can't remember what we were arguing about |
| [01:45.25] |
I stood up to the scariest man in the country |
| [01:47.94] |
I held my head high as I left the house |
| [01:50.65] |
Little boy stood in the face of a dragon |
| [01:54.27] |
Left with the heart of a lion, amazing |
| [01:57.07] |
It's funny, I left the house so it could cool down |
| [01:59.74] |
But the dragon stayed hot, who's the fool now? |
| [02:03.37] |
Papa and the devil, sitting in the basement |
| [02:05.17] |
A-R-S-O-N-I-N-G |
| [02:07.88] |
Young son, headed back to the household |
| [02:10.53] |
Running down the block, eight firetrucks deep |
| [02:13.23] |
Fell to my knees and I screamed in the front yard |
| [02:16.08] |
Fireman running around like no one's in charge |
| [02:18.76] |
Sort of like when it rains, it pours |
| [02:21.43] |
See the flames burst out of the door |
| [02:24.17] |
I've learned a lifetime |
| [02:52.12] |
A lifetime as a boy |
| [02:58.56] |
Evil's on the inside |
| [03:03.90] |
Waiting for all |
| [03:08.47] |
Got an apartment |
| [03:11.13] |
I'm 20 years old |
| [03:12.96] |
Finally thinking I have everything under control |
| [03:14.76] |
It's been years since I spoke to the man |
| [03:18.41] |
When, he gave me his old cutlass to get out of the sand |
| [03:20.29] |
So just like a hyena, I take the meat |
| [03:22.03] |
And then I run my ass away, you need to let me be |
| [03:25.62] |
But over time a part of me knew one needed to speak |
| [03:28.37] |
That's right when the world decided that it couldn't be |
| [03:31.92] |
It's the biggest hurdle thinking past tense |
| [03:34.63] |
When a strong man takes his last breath |
| [03:37.34] |
|
