Street Man Blue

On the outside I look as man who lived 100 life times

But on the inside I look like a dying boy with unending cancer

Growing in me is a tumor all caused by you

Just another motherfucker like everyone else

Thinking you're so perfect, if so then I'm heavenly

Just a street man, blue in the face from holding your breath

Trying to make it so your lungs give out and you pass away

I've had mothers die in my arms and watched their children run

Going into a world that only a crazed mind knows how to make

I've seen the worst of the world and none of the best

So when I look at you, I see with you with the eyes of a ghost

Left right left we march along and soon you will see

The bodies are buried in a place that no man can go

But I've been there too many times and I return as them

Broken and mutilated dirt covers the pain for a while

Just waiting to die I pull the vail over my head and pray

Oh precious one make it so I don't wake up in the morning

Mother Mary won't be waiting for a street rat like me

Who would care for a person that has already expired?

To see how the children gaze at me

Seeing that I am some how like them yet so far to reach

There is no coming back for someone left out for so long

Each time I look to see, I only find darkness

Over and over again it is the only thing coming my way

No direction no understand why am I like this

A poor old man lives inside and destroies the inner child of beauty

Stealing his soul, rapping his mind, there is no returning

As one bird calls to the other this is how he finds me

The small one who is what I'm supposed to be

Yet he turns into street man blue and I do to

Just a disgrace, how I am ignored

Well you fucked with the wrong man and now you will pay

The body that was buried before will now become yours
