Back in '78, I was a kid, I didn't know shit and I never did

When the summer got hot, we praid for rain

But since the lights went out I've never been the same

But when we got older I caught the gust

Livin' in the park with the rest of the nuts

But now I waver, I feel it heavy on my mind

A life-saver that's been there all the time





Chorus:

And she don't lie, she don't lie but I do

She don't know, she don't know but I do

And I play heavy on my mind





The booker got blessed on her date of birth

from green point ave across to Benson Hurst

She keeps my family together, keeps my foes at bay

When she's chillin' off the leash you better stay away

I remember you and I, we used to chill on a stoop

maxing and ... without any loot

Now you got it going strong but i feel long in the tooth girl

Now you got it going strong but i feel long in the tooth

And I don't know what to feel anymore

But I'm trying, I'm trying to tell her

And I don't know what to think anymore

But I think, I think I ought to build myself ...



Chorus (3x)
