The Things That I Used to Do
This town's so hype it's got sou
As a Philly ca
I'm with the rol
And the swing of my thing
How they work like clockwor
Tick tock tick toc
Times aways lurking in your hea
Got to go to work and get fe
That man didn't eat but he goes to slee
Gets up at dawn not to see the sunris
But because it's too damn cold outsid
Underneath the bridge they pump the city's bilg
Into the alley they sweetp the city's filt
The flowers wilt the flowers wil
Don't tell me about no gam
Cause that is a ma
And his famil
Revolution famil
Look at the famil
Dig the famil
They're living the wrong wa
Can't get nothin
Don't get nothing all they wanted wa
Something like a job -- mercy merc
But its robbed -- mercy merc
And there's so many street sid
Beggars and disabled veteran
Glass-eyed and peddlin
Drunk and just meddlin
So you conclude it's their faul
They like the street they must like the asphal
But that is man woman and childre
The system has stalled shelter's hom
That's not what I call i
I call it bad healt
Some say help themselve
Yo if you you gots i
Everyone hundred people a dollar in chang
Everyone hundred people a dollar in chang
This ain't livin
This ain't livin
Oh n
You know it's rough, had enough fo holding
Cup full of spare chang
The doctor diagnosed me as
Dome full of bad brain
So, toe to toe with employer
Cause they're telling me n
Hooked on prescription drug
So I stay broke, I'd run awa
But you can't run away fro
Yourself or your health s
I deal with the cards that I'm deal
Tweet-a -leet- lee
This morning bird sounding swee
Though I sleep on the street
I have a feeling I'm fre
From society's hand picked hypocris
Mercy mercy don't give a damn for m
Mercy mercy now what am I going to ea
Peek through the windows of the restauran
Peple eating caviar fifth bucks on lunc
A hand-me-down mea
Full of god kows wha
Put it away in my gu
Quick and then I wonde
Why I'm sick, brick for bric
I know the city like my hand prin
Just a pit in the gutte
Of a skid-row ditc
But I'll survive the pai
Let me know I'm aliv
But I still feel tha
This ain't livin
Check my beat dig they rhyth
Me belly full but me hungry so I fill i
Once I start gaining taxes start takin
Cause the governments perfected funk fakin
Breaking me down striking me dow
What goes around comes around bu
I keep rising seeing through the lies an
The surprise comes when I see mysel
The music I fel
I'm o
This ain't livin
This ain't livin
Oh no
