Sizzla - Subterranean Homesick Blues lyrics

rate me

(As for those) in the basement (Marijuanas) the medicine (And those) on the pavement (Burning down the false) government The man in the trench coat Badge out, laid off Says hes got a bad cough Wants to get it paid off Look out kid Its something you did (Jah) knows when But youre doin it again You better duck down the alley way Lookin for a new friend The man in the coon-skin cap In the big pen Wants eleven dollar bills You only got ten Maggie comes fleet foot Face full of black soot Talkin that the heat put Plants in the bed but The phones tapped anyway Maggie says that many say They must bust in early May Orders from the D.A. Look out kid Dont matter what you did Walk on your tip toes Dont try No Doz Better stay away from those That carry around a fire hose Keep a clean nose Watch (those) plain clothes You dont need a weather man To know which way the wind blows (You) get sick, (then) get well Hang around an ink well (Things fell), hard to tell If anything is goin to sell Try hard, get barred Get back, write Braille Get jailed, jump bail (Dont stop, you dont) fail Look out kid Youre gonna get hit By users, cheaters Six-time losers Hang around the theaters Girl by the whirlpool Lookin for a new fool Dont follow leaders Watch the parkin meters Ah get born, keep warm (Girls come) learn to dance Get dressed, get blessed Try to be a success Please her (to please me) Dont steal, dont (shop) lift Twenty years of schoolin And they put you on the day shift Look out kid They keep it all hid (You come out from the dark zone) Light yourself a (fire torch) Wear (your) sandals Try to avoid the scandals Dont wanna be a bum (Get yourself a gun) The pump dont work Cause the vandals took the handles
