bertman84 - tom brassed Lyrics

I lay back as the lights flicker on on the porch

I used to see the bright side but i don't know anymore

Was I in the right mind, like, ever before?

I still got a hundred thousand hidden beneath the floors

Baby, I've been dead for half of my life

So lay me down for a minute, lay me down for a minute

I said, it don't matter cause I already died

So lay me down for a minute, lay me down for a minute

When I was 25, I put a bullet straight through the head

Of the man who brought me in and treated me as a friend

I spent years collecting cash from people owing him bread

But then I got an offer from a man who seemed to present

An opportunity to rise in the scene

I told my baby I could be the boss in only a week

Well, I would be captain but, f*ck, you know what I mean

So I grabbed my Walther PPK and rushed to the man

I let my pistol fall out of my hand

And it splashed on the ends of my pants

So I had to burn them all down

I had to burn it all down

And I watched as the flames started to dance

And as it starts to get darker

And everybody gets older

And you just start to wonder

What's the point of everything?

When I was 30, I got word that I would end up the man

Around the city, through the state, the trucks contained contraband

Feds came down, they tried to get me but we would never rat

But we couldn't stop the guys that tried to rupture the plan

They took my baby, shot her down, because they wanted me gone

I slit their throats and watched them die but all the damage was done

My daughter saw the news and said she hates what I have become

She doesn't know that I was her age when I picked up the gun

He said you really wanna do this boy? You're just so young

I thought about it for a moment and put one in his gums

When I was 50, I got out and lived a regular life

My daughter left and I got cancer from the cigarettes I've

Lit up, just cause everyone else did it

'fess up, out the game but they're still clinging

Feds out, at my house like they house sitting

Never ever safe, told them somebody else did it
