· and that's why I'm here |
| I walk into the
morning · with no fear for the future ·
and you won't catch me inside · 'cause I'm legitimate
· and now I give a damn · I'm gonna sit
on your street · and act real meek · you
just act like you know me · how did I get here
|
| on the corner of
third street · in the shelter of this bookstore
· I want you all here · so you know I'm
not pretending · I've a halfway act for real ·
