Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind Other times sunshine high head fine In between I get cold, old mean Intertwined with country pride open and kind This draws a line Sorry to coin a phrase On either side is wisdom and rage So keeping track of time Racing with my age Sleeping with the snakes Forget that you showed up late It ain't worth it baby
Chorus: A charmed life it is At least they tell yo so I got a good idea It ain't like they say is so And if it is then let me go Let me go Any day there might be hell to pay But in other ways It makes it seem ok I'll tell you what I mean It's not a plot nor a scheme It's just peace in my mind Again can I use the word kind I ain't sorry about it baby
