[01:31.08]Thinkin' he's been had
[01:33.82]In the back of his mind he's sayin'
[01:35.51]Didn't have to be here
[01:39.60]You didn't have to love for me
[01:44.10]While I was just a nothin' child

[02:11.34]One room shack
[02:13.83]On the Alley back
[02:18.67]Control I'm told
[02:22.69]From across the track
[02:28.48]Where is the mayor

[03:22.64]Runnin' through ma' bones
[03:27.39]I'm sorry son
[03:31.13]All your money's gone
[03:37.42]Painful rip
[03:39.97]In my upper hip
[03:44.59]I guess it's time
[03:48.55]To take another trip
[03:53.20]Don't care what nobody say
[03:57.26]I got to take the pain away
[04:01.42]It's getting worser day by day
[04:05.47]And all my life has been this way
[04:09.91]Can't reason with the pusherman
[04:14.03]Finance is all that he understands
[04:18.26]'You junkie mama cries you know'
[04:22.33]Would rip her but I love her so
[04:26.13]Love her so now
