2016 City Dweller Balled

I got that lonesome boy blues
Oh, I got that early mornin’ blues
Got that, “stop! wait! no... nothing! fuck!” boy blues
My head never shuts off it’s tunes
Worryin’ cops will rob me, take my shoes
shoot me when I’m down
I’m worried my Protector is a clown
A uniform just to shake a Black man down
To take the poor whites on the run around
day in and day out
I’m going where I’ve never been before
So honey baby, don’t leave me now
I’m going where I’ve never been before
 
I got that unlaced shoe orphan child blues
Oh, I got that ghastly storm drain baby blues
Got that, “what is this? why is thing happening?
why can’t I do more? why won’t others?” blues
The truth is the youth are not united like they were years ago,
and now it is time to let the bomb fuse glow,
strike a match against a tree hollow,
as a Phoenix rise, dropping change like snow!
These thoughts beat me while I sleep in bed
I’m worried ISIS will rob me of my head
I’m going where I’ve never been before
So honey baby don’t leave me now
I’m going where I’ve never been before
 
I got that alcoholic city dweller blues,
walkin’ around pretendin’ to find clues
as to the What? Where? When? Why?
of these lonesome boy blues
In quadrants other, all is still and right as is
I’m the Doorman, welcome to Universe Ritz
like in Jeopardy or poker, you can become rich
then die with everyone who is no one,
where everyone must be someone
but everyone doesn’t exist!
Eternity playing harp before my bed
Ballet dancers swing on ribbons from Baghdad
I’m scared I am not the Devil anymore
I’m going where I’ve never been before
So honey baby don’t leave me now
I’m going where I’ve never been before
