There must be some kind of way out of here Send a joker to the thief, yeah There's too much confusion Mmm, I can't get no relief Businessmen, they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None will ever know the light No one under this world Yeah I see jokers on my left, thieves up on my right You'd find me in the middle if I picked a different life Before my name started tripling in size But I'm still showing signs, all attributed to night In the pitch black, it's too cold, I'm all alone Take me back to the roads, I ain't too wrong To get here and I'll hitch back Get a cab to my mother's house See my old man and grab a six pack Tell my brother I love him And give him something that will see him through the hard times What's a brother for? When I'm sick of this life I see It has to be my family who lift me off the floor Makes sense of all the madness In a world full of money, full of tears, full of war I was a proud man, I worked from the earth up Saved your wine for the entrepreneurs All night long the watchtower Princes kept looking While all the women came and went With blood serving us too, yeah I was caught in the cold desert A while I kept it proud Like a proud man, I worked from the earth up Two islands were approaching And the wind begins to howl The shore world is the same as mine Pour more blood in your cup Take a sip full of sin And let your taste buds savour the buzz The flavour of an ill-mannered nature That lingers on as animals in all of us Trying to fight for the right to live a life But some will never win, no That's why they live a lie I don't think I'll ever win All of this is anything When I die I hope a love is at my side There's no trapdoor, I get high claws The world can be a restaurant or a set of jail doors You've seen mine, I think it's time I see yours I bet you that we've been scarred by the same swords So we're not so unalike Apart from the fact I live my life in the light And now I'm trapped in it The way I feel within a few years' time I might have a couple kids And just forget I ever wrote a lyric And we're all undone The watchtower Has kept a view While all the women came and went With birds serving us too, yeah Outside in the coldest sun And while we're catching ground Two islands we're approaching And the wind begins to howl Take away the treasure of a man Convinced that he holds heaven in his hands Even though I ain't religious, I'm a little superstitious Maybe there is a promised land Will I make it or not's a different matter I've been a joke, I've been a thief, I've been a rapper I've been the only enemy that I can never beat Give me a piece of mind upon a platinum platter And we're all undone The watchtower Has kept a view While all the women came and went With birds serving us too, yeah Outside in the coldest sun And while we're catching ground Two islands we're approaching And the wind begins to howl One, one Check, check, check One's up On the level, on the ground
