Your rating:
I'm gonna win I'll take you out in a minute Step in my flat see what's in it I live in the land of the welfare state My flat used to be section P Now it's a rat infested cocaine run My whole world plays like a broken drum (Chorus) Drunken bum Rats in the hallway again Set up get put go away & ride away Sit up our bed up your bed to lay Kick up our rip up this place apart Even when I finish I'm back at the start I'm out of line on Adeline St. heat Don't keep this crooked beat 4 A.M. no waves breakin' What's left of the P.M. the A.M. has taken (Chorus) Outside my gate my crew is drinking a 40 oz. They asked me if there's still rats in the hallway I said some things ain't like the weather They never change for the better This girl came up to me She said she would do me no harm Rolled up her sleave and showed me the tracks on her arm I said, "What's your name?" she said "I'm Mya." She said "Tim I wanna take you higher." Junkie drunken bum Rats in the hallway again Zombie walking kid out on his own with no moral Mr. High leave the body In comes Mr. Withdrawal Pain is the only thing the body will allow The kid wants to dance The gangster knows how Johnny bought some shit down on Market St. Shoot up boot up the human target He hit the dirty spike when he hit the scene It's easy to stay dirty when nothing is clean Johnny's a writer who tags up jackal Jackel just clamped on unclampable shackles Rout up Shoot up some dope to go like legal currency It's money it's like that rat tat tat Kid got shot point blank in the back My land lord said not to be bumming He was a cocaine stoop and he had it coming He was only 12 years old He was in the blizzard He got shot for being cold It don't seem right Tonight hit the lights alright Watch the roaches run into the darkest room (Chorus
