Hole In The Bucket |
(Money Money Money Money Nothin But |
Money) |
I work 9 to 5 but it starts in the P.M. |
and I love the sunrise so I step out in the A.M. |
the street is black and shiny from the early |
nightly rainin' |
the glory of the light it brings evaporation |
morning’s fresh oxygen cleanest |
I take a deep hit help my mind stay the greenest |
I’m already wake so I’m not drinkin’coffee |
don’t wanna cigarrette, 'cause it’s a form of slavery |
walk into the store 'cause I need a few items |
the sun heats the blood like a hit of vitamins |
needa buy some food and some 'poo for my dreads |
can’t remember why but I need a spool of thread |
Man with dirty dreads, steps around the comer |
he asks me for a dime, a nickel or a quarter |
I don’t have any change so I’m steppin’along |
and as I’m walkin’past he sings to me a song… |
There’s a whole in the bucket dear liza, dear |
liza…(repeat) |
The day is pickin’up cause I’m hummin’his song |
the buses and the people all keep movin’along |
to the shopkeeper I say was’sup? |
and I’m thinkin’about the man who’s holdin’up the cup |
I pay for all the stuff and get a pocketful of change |
should I give it to the man’s the question in my brain |
What’s gonna happen if I give the man a dime? |
I don’t wanna pay for anotha brotha’s wine |
What’s gonna happen if I give the man a quarter? |
will he find a dealer and try to place an order? |
what’s gonna happen if I give the man a nickel |
will he buy some food or some pork that’s been pickled? |
I’m not responsible for the man’s depression |
how can I find compassion in the midst of recession? |
How come all these questions keep fuckin’with my head |
and I still can’t rememba why I need a spool of thread. |
He’s starin’in my eyes just as I’m walkin’past |
I’m tryin to avoid him cause I know he’s gonna ask |
me about the coinage that is in my pocket |
But I don’t know if I should put it in his bucket |
walk right past him to think about it more |
back at the crib I’m openin’up the door |
a pocketful of change it don’t mean alot to me my cup is half full but his is empty |
I put back on my cap and I start headin’back |
I reach into my pocket and I have a heart attack |
well as I’m diggin’deep I scream oh no! |
there’s nothin’in the pocket but a great big hole |
While I was busy thinkin’if he would buy smack |
the jingle in my pocket it slipped through the cracks |
no one has the change and it’s fuckin’up my head |
But now I no the reason why I had to buy the thread! |
