In Front of Me
Big D And The Kids Table Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Throughout my days God I say they're moving slow
All confused yeah they will not move or go
Just one step (one step) and then another (yeah)
They're all confused yeah confused just by each other
I think a lesson in walking it's called 101
I think you're blocking is good but it's all good and done
You made me laugh but now you just be making me sick
Now at last things are moving not just bit by bit
In front of me me in front in front of me
Slow people on the street walk in front me
In front of me walking in front of me
Slow people on the street walk in front of me

(Chorus:)
We're all trapped while we're standing still (we're all trapped)
We're all trapped while we're standing still (we're all trapped)
We're all trapped while we're standing still (we're all trapped)
We're all trapped while we're standing still (we're all trapped)

We're all trapped cause we're standing still (we're all trapped)
I get my fill make we wanna kill just by standing standing still (we're all trapped)
We're all trapped cause we're standing still (we're all trapped)
Until 'til gonna break my will just by standing standing still (go go)

Keeping my temper is what I used to call the blame
Now by watching your steps it is what is the pain
I'm in no hurry you see I pay no mind
Now by dragging your feet you begin to waste my time
I'm not saying I'm fast I'm not saying you're slow
I'm just saying at last you must get up and go
You made me laugh but now you just be making me sick
Now at last things are moving not just bit by bit

In front of me me in front in front of me
Slow people on the street walk in front me
In front of me walking in front of me
Slow people on the street walk in front of me

(Chorus)

In front of me just get out of my way
I'm begging please can't you see
Just believe that I'll make you pay
I'm coming fast I'm coming fastest
You come in last cause you're slower than molasses
Well is there snail-juice in your tank (tank)
I don't know but I know you ain't swank
A picture's worth a thousand words and I got 3
Hold on let me think
Fucking Big D

(1st Verse)

In front of me me in front in front of me
Slow people on the street walk in front me
In front of me walking in front of me
Slow people on the street walk in front of me
