Verse 1:
Iâm a little crazy a little out of my head
They told me only take one I took two instead
Thereâs a Preacher on the corner yellinâ at me
I got a pocket full of chitlens and collard greens
Now the dogs are barkinâ and they got a nose on my trail
They say Iâll wind up dead or Iâll end up in jail
I took a left down the alley and thereâs needles on the ground
Broken glass everywhere and the trash has gone sour
I think I see a woman but I really canât tell
Probably just another man who disguised himself well
Mister do you have a quarter or a dollar that you can spare
They say Iâll wind up dead or Iâll end up in jail
Chorus:
Well I swear to you mom I swear to you Dad
Wasnât nothinâ I took wasnât nothinâ that bad
Iâm all out of cash and Iâm stuck downtown
Aint nothinâ like the feelinâ of cominâ down
Verse 2:
I said that Iâm sorry I said that Iâm done Iâm done
Iâm guna go back to college Iâm guna quit drugs
Well if you come and get me I will even go to church
I started readinâ the bible I swear it every verse
And when I get home Iâm guna steal something I can sell
They say Iâll wind up dead or Iâll end up in jail
Chorus x2
