lyrics

I was loved when I was a boy
I had toys, Mama made sure
Jesus loves all the boys and girls
For the Bible tells me so
My world was filled with promise and providence
My family and my friends
I had everything I needed
But was naieve with a head full of foolish beliefs
Having no idea what was waiting for me

I was a kid who would steal from the candy store
I was a kid now everybody would ignore
I ran away and I would try to get as far as I can
But every time I wound up where I started again
I ran further
Away from my father
Because he hurt her
Blood is not water
And I would stand there and just watch him take it
She had a heart I would just watch him break it
Until one day
Think It was a Sunday
I shouted out now this is what your son say
Me and mommy ain't gonna take it no more
I bit him back, then I spit his blood on the floor
Then he looked at me and saw his crazy little child
With a bloody smile, I think his brain went wild
That's when he turned away, before he walked out the door
He looked at me and said “Yo, son, Happy Birthday”

You better beware
There’s blood in the water, yeah
Can’t you feel it?
Them signs are pointing right and left
We’re adrift in it
The balance is lost in the red
The only grey left is the grey in your hair
You politicians better take care
Them boots are troopin’ everywhere
