Black Snake Moan

[Verse 1]
I don't ever play nice, I don't ever fight fair
And since my mother packed this shit, it ain't gon' be the same here
She ain't never coming back, I can feel it in the air
I mean, why the fuck would she?
Spitting image of my father
Hang myself above the mantel, feet swinging 'bove a threshold
Cold body blocks the doorway
Can't get to my ambition while I'm fighting my addiction
To women who don't love me, they just wanna be submissive
My problems and my issues
I just spray 'em with an Uzi, leave 'em oozing on a corner
I am locked in institutions, a chamber of my secrets
I am seeking retribution
I slither back from Houston with a pint and a pack of Swishers
Never speeding in the city

[Hook]
So when you told me that you love me, I know that that's a lie
I could hear it in your moans, and I could see it in your eyes
And I could taste it on your skin, all the places you done been
All the nights you done spent in all them other beds
When you tell me that you love me, I know that that's a lie
I could hear it in your moans, and I could see it in your eyes
And I could taste it on your skin, all the places you done been
All the nights you done spent in all them other beds

[Verse 2]
I am just a son of Adam, this path is straight and narrow
I'm a man made from women, never beaten, never broken
Got a father down below and a father up in Heaven
And I still ain't never met him, and man, let me tell you
Ain't no stairways to heaven, only highways to hell
From cities full of killers and nightmarish villains
And blackhearted women tryna to rob you of your feelings
