Pizzicato Five - Original

[Verse 1]
Why do I do the things I do?
Lying is a necessary evil, true
Fell asleep listening to Aquemini, calming
Always dug Big Boi, never liked Andre
I got my football pads
Helmet on, all I′m missing is a dad
Great things don't last
Well, I′m living with a broken heart
Tell me, who gon' be my cast?
Who will be my hospital?
Who will even ask?
I'm the sad nigga story which no one ever cast
No one ever tells me ′cause no one ever asked
Critical observations from a plant seed
Life′s hard, my God, change me
'Cause the deranged me
Will never ever make it in this industry
I need guidance
Latrine, queen crown Poseidon

[Verse 2]
It′s funny how the place where you shit at
Makes you think about where you going and where you been at
So, like Forrest, I came back for my Jodie Foster
Because I couldn't live if I lost her
So, here I be′s in the flesh
'Cause all I really need is a MAC and a check
I think too much, I think too much
She said how much you want, and I think too much
But I say far less than what I had imagined
Fairytale anthem, go home, play Madden
And it saddens me, to think that you could ever stay mad at me
I know things, bad things
Cue the tears, hold the sad strings

[Verse 3]
The words of a nigga who can′t cope
Born to a family of dope, and so I sniff
'Cause life's hard sometimes
And the only thing that helps is a whiff
One line for your mind
Two lines ′cause I′m broke, but I'm trying
Need guidance
I′m swimming in that water, but I ain't Poseidon

[Outro]
I believe in a God that would hear me
I believe in a God that could hear me
I believe in a God that can hear me
And the only thing he says is to fear me
[Instrumental]
