born in the midst,
the midst of politics
When the subtle twist of the words
would change its intent
And the sentiment words
that descended your urge
I was wrapped in your curves
with the action of verbs
That went from Friday night on
the stage with stage lights,
the Saturday morning in the
pale sunlight
Streaming through the curtains
and hitting your face right, yeah
I think you're beautiful,
you think I'm a poet
You say you think this'll last,
but it won't
I think you know it, or maybe you do
And that's right,
cause I got something so deep
That I doubt I can reach him
And nope, I can't teach him
And nope, I can't beat him
I hope you can't see him, can't smell him
But I can breathe him, so
If you're sticking around,
don't be digging around
Cause if you dig too deep,
you won't like what you found
Don't dig too deep, no
Cause you're gonna get dirty
I've seen the truth coming
But I ain't in no hurry
I've seen too much
and my heart's been weary
Tried to fix it but instead I bury
So baby don't,
don't dig too deep
Don't dig too deep
cause I roll like a stone
And everybody know
the best part is the bone
So damn what I end up all alone
I've been buried deep
enough for too long
The hood call me Johnny B. Goode
And know I would tell the truth
even though I'm wrong
I know I know a brand new day
Win some tangeray on the porch
while I sing my song
And the goat's really got a shovel
and he don't look good
Blood on the sands ain't
the same in the hood
Watch out, here we come, clear the streets
So, watch out
Don't dig too deep, no
Cause you're gonna get dirty
I seen the truth coming
But I ain't in no hurry
I've seen too much
and my heart's been weary
Tried to fix it but instead I bury
Baby, don't
So, baby, don't
Don't dig too deep
Oh, no, no, don't
Don't dig too deep, no
Cause you're gonna get dirty
I've seen the truth coming
But I ain't in no hurry
I've seen too much
and my heart's gone weary
Tried to fix it but instead I bury
So baby don't
So baby don't
Don't dig too deep
Watch out
Here we come, clear the streets out
Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch out
Here we come, clear the streets out
Hey! Don't take it easy now
