Verse 1:

I’m a little crazy a little out of my head

They told me only take one I took two instead

There’s a Preacher on the corner yellin’ at me

I got a pocket full of chitlens and collard greens

Now the dogs are barkin’ and they got a nose on my t

rail

They say I&rsq

uo;ll wind up dead or

I’ll end

up in jail

I took a left down the alley and there’s needles on the ground

Broken glass everywhere and the trash has gone sour

I think I see a woman but I really can’t tell

Probably just another man who disguised himself well

Mister

do you have a quarter or a dollar that you can spare

They say I&rsq

uo;ll wind up dead or

I’ll end up in jail

Chorus:

Well I

swear to you mom I swear to you Dad

Wasn&rs

quo;t nothin’ I took wasn’t nothin’ that bad

I’

m all out of cash and I’m stuck downtown

Aint

nothin’ like the feelin’ of comin’ down

Verse 2:

I said that I’m sorry I said that I’m done I’m done

I’m guna go back to college I’m guna quit drugs

Well if you come and get me I will even go to church

I started readin’ the bible I swear it every verse

And

when I get home I’m guna steal something I ca

n sell

They say I&rsq

uo;ll wind up dead or

I’ll end

up in jail
