| Well, it was said
|
| On the day of my birth
|
| The ghost of a dead man
|
| Walked the earth
|
| And my mama don’t love me none
|
| She hates everything my daddy done
|
| He got killed on a steel mill line
|
| Just like his daddy in a
|
| Black coal mine
|
| They say I’m the bastard son
|
| Of one bad motherfuckin' line of blood
|
| I got an uncle in a Jackson cell
|
| Served 13 years
|
| But he’s still got 12
|
| That’s 25, baby
|
| He killed his brother with a swingin' spade
|
| Now he’s six feet deep in a
|
| Early grave
|
| He got killed before his time
|
| Just like his
|
| Just like his daddy died
|
| They say I’m the bastard son
|
| Of one bad motherfuckin' line of blood
|
| I can’t catch a break
|
| Cause if I make one damn mistake
|
| They’re gonna hang me, hey, hey, hey
|
| Half Detroit would sell their soul
|
| To see me swingin' from a gallows pole
|
| For somethin'
|
| Somethin' my daddy done
|
| Come on
|
| Yo, it was said
|
| On the day of my birth
|
| That the ghost of a dead man
|
| Walked the earth
|
| All right
|
| And my mama don’t love me none
|
| Because she knows
|
| I’m my daddy’s son
|
| He got killed on a steel mill line
|
| Just like his daddy
|
| Just like his daddy died
|
| They say I’m the bastard son
|
| Of one bad motherfuckin' line of blood
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah |
