…I was slicker, but i sit here, and I shiver fuck
Why am i so cold?
Tears running down my face while I sit here getting old
Calling for help but the…
…end up in a fucking hole
Feeling fully pressured, got me backed up against the wall
So I'm lashing out…
…at bystanders for no reason at all
I refuse to fall, picked a book, began the internet crawl
Finding any knowledge yo, I'm ready for y'all
Wheres my needle in the…

Yo L we gon one right here
10 years in the ghetto where I never had a white friend
Dominicans and Puerto Rican's was the…
…in class I would sit and just people watch
I started reading....body language, you don't need to talk
For me to know the vibe
These the…
…fitting in Was crucial
But bein clowned on is a feelin nobody should be used to
Outcasted from the cool crew
But yo for real I…

…we can't afford lights
I write in the dark with a paper I'm putting my pen to
Try to fuck with my mental
Said my potential…
…sent me to save?
Society stuck in a cage
Remembering back in the day
Feeling so real when I ride while I bump Kanye
But damn, heh…
…dirt we let die
I'm here to deliver you all from the lies
And know that I gave you a piece of my... mind…

…we can't afford lights
I write in the dark with a paper I'm putting my pen to
Try to f*ck with my mental
Said my potential…
…sent me to save?
Society stuck in a cage
Remembering back in the day
Feeling so real when I ride while I bump Kanye
But damn, huh…
…dirt we let die
I'm here to deliver you all from the lies
And know that I gave you a piece of my... mind…

But, then, at the end of day I could always say -
Well, now, I am going home.
I felt elected, steeped, sovereign to be able to…
…say -
I am going home.
When I was at home I liked to stay at home;
At home I stayed at home for weeks;
At home I used sit…
…
Smoking a cigarette - one of her own roll-ups.
I closed my eyes and breathed in and breathed out.
It is ecstacy to breathe if you are at home in the…

…weapons, I used them well
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down
I've…
…chest
Of desire
I could walk into this room
And the waves of conversation are enough
To knock you down in the undertow
So alone so alone…
…continent

(Bits and pieces printed in the 1988 fan club holiday card)
This world is big and so-awake
I stayed up late to…

…lake
Until there's nothing I could ever see
And I'll be out here shuffling my feet
Down the ______
We used to sit and sing The…
And it always brought me comfort when I was low
We'd sit and watch Blood Simple _____
While we got stoned
I used to love it when I…
…that ball _____ and around
When I bring it back, you'd scratch my ears
And I look around, there's no one here
So tell me I'm the greatest boy you know
I used to…

I wouldn't wanna have it
I wouldn't wanna have it
I wouldn't wanna have it any, oh
Wouldn't wanna have it
I wouldn't…
…for no reason
He sends her messages on the phone, she won't read it
He regrets what he sent her
He was unable to prevent remembering…
…and it's hard to unclench his
Fists because he used to sit with her on park benches
And she would oddly mend his harshly tormented…

Now I'm kicking back with my head against the wall
Reminiscing about the time I used to buzz
Kicking it with the homies always…
…make a lil money for our families
Homies all around
Real Gs never go to sleep
Remembering times we creeped on our enemies
Damn we used to…
…remember we used to get high and laugh talkin about the hoes we fucked
Damn I miss the past
We used to sit in the car smoking shirv…

…money not to teach our children Irish
And so we lost our history
And this is what I think is still hurting me
You see we're like…
…traumatic stress disorder
Look at all our old men in the pubs
Look at all our young people on drugs
We used to worship God…
…a child
That got itself smashed in the face
And if there ever is gonna be healing
There has to be remembering
And then grieving
So that there then can be forgiving
There has to…

Why am I lonely, why do I cry,
Am I gonna be a lonely one till the day that I die?
Yes, you don't be there while I sit here alone…
…on.
Lord I get so weary, lonely and blue
When I think about the good times, baby, we once knew.
You, you know the reason why I sit here…
…little things, baby, that we used to do.
You know the reason you were my lonely one,
I can't believe my eyes…

Why am I lonely, why do I cry
Am I gonna be a lonely one till the day that I die?
Yes, you don't be there while I sit here alone…
…get so weary, lonely and blue
When I think about the good times, baby, we once knew
You, you know the reason why I sit here alone
I…
…little things, baby, that we used to do
You know the reason you were my lonely one
I can't believe my eyes, you've up…

Why am I lonely, why do I cry,
Am I gonna be a lonely one till the day that I die?
Yes, you don't be there while I sit here alone…
…on.
Lord I get so weary, lonely and blue
When I think about the good times, baby, we once knew.
You, you know the reason why I sit here…
…little things, baby, that we used to do.
You know the reason you were my lonely one,
I can't believe my eyes…

…tourists' boat float away
Now I'm sitting here watching the ferry boat float away
In the moment I couldn't help but wish to wiggle out
I…
…try to put my smiling face on but I couldn't control my bow, pow pow pow pow
And the kids are young, I feel so dumb
Cause I never…
…know what to say to them
And I sit there remembering the time I was their age in amazement [?]
It's complicated stuff, my brain…
