Royalty
it's like I just woke up and I'm three
days late
like I'm broke and stuck and there
are delays. wait!
you're telling me that like my bread
my lines are growing stale
but I swear it's like I said the check's
in the outgoing mail.
I feel like royalty wearing a soiled
t-shirt
sitting in front of a feast but
these gold teeth hurt.
falling asleep at the front of the
class trying to stay alert,
or flying down the freeway and these
brakes don't work.
c'mon it's only me- trying to make
ends meet.
sitting blindfolded in the driver's
seat.
I'll be lucky if I can survive this
week.
doing 50 in reverse down a one way
street.
I'm watching doors slam shut to
my right and my left
trying to shake these cement shoes
before the concrete sets.
It seems no matter what I do
I'm placing all the wrong bets
and the harder I try the worse that
these odds get.
I feel like royalty wearing a soiled
t-shirt
sitting in front of a feast but
these gold teeth hurt.
falling asleep at the front of the
class trying to stay alert,
or flying down the freeway and these
brakes don't work.
I walk with my head high avoiding
the dark alleys
Knowing damn well they're coming
to break my knees.
So I've gotta keep moving, you can
come if you please.
They can try all they want but they
won't catch me.
I'm a bad man.
