Lyrics

Well, to keep from dyin', hey, hey I've been lyin', uh huh Shot a man, hey and I stole and ran Well, well, we tried to beat 'em Oh, and I lost my freedom My woman know that I'm in need So save some of mine for me If you got to give it up, don't desert me 'Cause leavin' me, you know it would hurt me Snake pits and Lucifers burns Can't take the strength I've earned and learned Grease, it just ain't greasy And nasty, baby, come so easy Ain't no heaven, ain't no heaven, this devil level All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone I get stoned, I get stoned Saw him pile, oh, in the shower Hey, now I plan to be a bad titty sucker And I plan to stay a black motherfucker Stepped in depth of the same livin' hell So I ain't too proud to die here as well Do do wap is strong in here Do do wap is strong in here Do do wap to find yourself creamin' Check your fears and hope that you're dreamin' A little space is all that I need If these suckers just allow me to breathe My woman's candy makin' him sick When I cop there won't be nothin' to lick Give her some of all the hard, hard pain Make her achin' body call for my name My woman know my passion of needs So save some of mine if you please Got to give it up, don't desert If you leave me, babe, know you would hurt, hey Do do wap is strong in here Do do wap is strong in here Do do wap is strong in here Do do wap is strong in here Wakin' up to find yourself creamin' Check your fears and hope that you're dreamin' A little space is all that I need If these suckers just allow me to breathe Snake pits and Lucifers burns Can't take the strength I've earned and learned Stepped in depth of the same livin' hell Ain't too proud to die here as well Do do wap is strong in here Do do wap is strong Do do wap, hey, hey Do do wap strong in here, hey, hey Do do wap, hey, hey Do do wap, hey, hey Do do wap is strong in here Do do wap is strong Do do wap, hey, hey Do do wap is strong in here Do do wap is strong Do do wap, hey, hey Do do wap is strong in here Do do wap is strong Do do wap, do do wap, do do wap
