[00:52.92]The windows cracked on the Chevrolet
[00:55.87]My cigarettes in the ash tray
[00:58.79]The engines off and the radio's down
[01:01.62]So nervous my whole body shakes
[01:04.49]The parking lot's full of people and
[01:07.60]They ready to see the preacher man
[01:10.30]Time to open up for the main act
[01:13.32]I guess that makes me a deacon
[01:16.27]I promise that I won't let me down
[01:19.10]And check myself in the mirror one time
[01:21.75]Say my prayer and then I shook the ground
[01:24.84]Light another smoke and step outside
[01:27.59]Walk inside and take a look around
[01:30.68]As I try to remember all of my lines
[01:33.57]Guess it's time for me to face the crowd
[01:35.87]And give the people my time
[01:38.10]Johnny Cash
[01:43.87]Johnny Cash
[01:49.71]Johnny Cash
[01:55.53]Johnny Cash
[02:01.39]Johnny Cash
[02:02.83]These people standing on front row
[02:05.71]Tryna see through me like a window
[02:08.71]I'm wearing my soul on my sleeve
[02:11.60]But they look at me through a pin hole
[02:14.55]All I see is this opportunity
[02:17.36]To see at least one of you in me
[02:20.27]But I can't seem to win 'em over so
[02:23.21]I swallow the humility
[02:26.04]Fifteen minutes to hold 'em down
[02:28.92]And I'm just wishing that it would fly by
[02:31.80]It's like my whole world hits the ground
[02:34.72]All I wanted to do is have a good time
[02:37.56]Hold me under but I will not drown
[02:40.50]All I really know how to do is survive
[02:43.37]Next time that I come to your town
[02:45.48]I'll be the fuckin' headline
[03:12.21]I'm not supposed to be this person, I suppose
[03:14.09]I'm not supposed to be this rapper poking holes at stereotypes
[03:17.49]Or to write this juxtaposing flow to beats it chose
[03:20.14]I hope the microphone and out me goes this songs and quotables
[03:23.02]Call me nasty, say I stink, well hit the sink and hold your nose
[03:25.76]Cause I'm about as convinceable as a bum in stolen clothes 'til they go at those
[03:30.26]I got dreams like fish got gills
[03:32.39]I can't survive in this lake water without a deal
[03:35.72]But I can build Noah's Ark without a power drill
[03:38.18]Look at this crowd like it's a battlefield
[03:40.65]Tell 'em my travels, my triumphs, my failures, my family loud and clear
[03:43.82]Let 'em off, judge, I don't care how they feel
[03:46.18]Fuck it what do I care? I'm my personal shrink
[03:49.02]Throw my heart down on the ground, stomp it, use the blood for the ink
[03:52.05]I'm used to purple and pink bruises so thanks for the tools
[03:54.65]That's just a brick from the mansion
[03:56.24]Another stitch in the pants of a Johnny Cash
[03:58.31]
