Wild Eyes
(专辑: The Widow's Son - 2019)
Uh Daddy wasn't home Momma raised a
thug The
life I
gravitated toward she never didn't judge But she never judged, her love was unconditional Probation conditional, evidence admissible Tears on her ivory keys, glory in the
lyrics Singing gods praise to anybody who could hear it The
end she doesn't fear it, words written in red Iron weighs her down, but the
girl lifting her head Son chasing bread, searching for some soul food When she preaches come, he says "I'm in no mood" Carnivore; never satisfied by tofu Wild eyes blind to what he's 'bout to go through Living on a
prayer, got a
pocket full of stones One day you're here, the
next day you're gone Wild eyes, wild eyes Living on a
prayer, me against the
world Mommas boy chasing the
devils little girl Wild eyes, wild eyes I'm borrowed time, living off mommas prayers The
only one to ever see through all his rugged layers Nobody really cares, banging me against the
world In the
bottom of the
black sea, fishing for a
pearl Listen to the
words, missing all the
meanings Deal going down, should probably sit it out this evening Devil on his shoulder, he gotta hit this lick This what you been waiting on, and after this you can quit Butterfly's got him sick, something don't seem kosher Cops or the
robbers go with or without the
toaster Now verdicts on the
poster, candles burning blue Wild eyes blind to what he's 'bout to go through Living on a
prayer, got a
pocket full of stones One day you're here, the
next day you're gone Wild eyes, wild eyes Living on a
prayer, me against the
world Mommas boy chasing the
devils little girl Wild eyes, wild eyes Pull in to the
parking lot, dash for the
cash Homie in the
back, killer in the
stash Shawty actin funny, she don't even count the
money Then she strikes off running, right then he see it coming Blue lights, black vests, everything is slow-mo Hands in the
air, throw them keys out the
window Karma from his past is catching up with his ass Then he laughs as his momma says "this too shall pass" Handcuffs click, prison doors shut Judge looks down and says 57 months His kingdom disappears, a
lot of friends follow suit His wild eyes open and he finally see the
truth Living on a
prayer, got a
pocket full of stones One day you're here, the
next day you're gone Wild eyes, wild eyes Living on a
prayer, me against the
world Mommas boy chasing the
devils little girl Wild eyes, wild eyes
