Branded Youth

You be the Bonny baby I’ll be the Cly-Clyde*
Let me take you, take on another ride
I’ll get you back to your papa by teatime
We’re gonna ease time, we’re gonna freeze time
I’ll be your alibi, I’ll be your samurai
Got what you wanted in the end right
Didn’t see you coming in my headlights
Me and the monkey gonna go on strike
Breaking out of prison like I’m Dolomite
I’m only what I’m like when I’m on the mic
I keep my friends tight
Plug my mic in, keep fighting
Not a black thing, not a white thing
Reading Richard Wright getting lost like lightning
I’m like the kids in that movie called The Shining
I’ve got a plan more simple than Simon
She only stays with me because she thinks she has to
I wanna know but I’m too scared to ask her
I can’t write because my hands are made of plasma
She only stays with me because she thinks she has to
I wanna know but I’m too scared to ask her
I can’t write because my hands are made of plaster
Wickedness is getting easier to master
All this losing got me into new things
I’m in the pawn shop pawning the diamond rings
I buy a gun with the money that they bring
She’s with me, she’s close but we ain't faking
Didn’t see you coming in my headlights
Me and the monkey gonna go on strike
Breaking out of prison like I’m Dolomite
