I lay back as the lights flicker on on the porch I used to see the bright side but i don’t know anymore Was I in the right mind, like, ever before? I still got a hundred thousand hidden beneath the floors Baby, I’ve been dead for half of my life So lay me down for a minute, lay me down for a minute I said, it don’t matter cause I already died So lay me down for a minute, lay me down for a minute When I was 25, I put a bullet straight through the head Of the man who brought me in and treated me as a friend I spent years collecting cash from people owing him bread But then I got an offer from a man who seemed to present An opportunity to rise in the scene I told my baby I could be the boss in only a week Well, I would be captain but, ****, you know what I mean So I grabbed my Walther PPK and rushed to the man I let my pistol fall out of my hand And it splashed on the ends of my pants So I had to burn them all down I had to burn it all down And I watched as the flames started to dance And as it starts to get darker And everybody gets older And you just start to wonder What’s the point of everything? When I was 30, I got word that I would end up the man Around the city, through the state, the trucks contained contraband Feds came down, they tried to get me but we would never rat But we couldn’t stop the guys that tried to rupture the plan They took my baby, shot her down, because they wanted me gone I slit their throats and watched them die but all the damage was done My daughter saw the news and said she hates what I have become She doesn’t know that I was her age when I picked up the gun He said you really wanna do this boy? You’re just so young I thought about it for a moment and put one in his gums When I was 50, I got out and lived a regular life My daughter left and I got cancer from the cigarettes I’ve Lit up, just cause everyone else did it ‘fess up, out the game but they’re still clinging Feds out, at my house like they house sitting Never ever safe, told them somebody else did it
