Lord, have mercy!

Yeah, the parasitic cling on, but mostly , yeah, Oh, they give her a fight. His just covered shallow so I know There won’t be no fuckin’ rainbow in sight. And they deny allegations those juries make, Oh man, oh, get out the door! She was left in a silent


And I ain’t looking for answers, I don’t want nothing for free. And I sure don’t want your respect, I just wanna know who’s talking to me?

I just wanna know who’s talking to me?

I know she’s jacked on whore-girls smack, And trepidation So she them, oh, and confuse them, Or annoy them ___
