Too many ya'll done did me wrong
Want me to show you some type of love

All them times you ignored my calls
You really got some type of nerve

Say she gave a dog a home
Never gave a dog a bone
Say her lil dog broke of the chain
And her lil dog had got away
Even say her dog been house trained
Never locked her dog up in his cage
And her lil dog had liked to play
Sound like your dog ran away
From home
Thankful for my baby brother
He the one who kept me going
I chose the streets
He chose to teach
Skippy ya mother and ya father
They say that dreams make believe
Doubted you they doubted me
I see you do you see me
Lil bro I'm still pushing on
Protect you till I'm dead and gone
Welcome all with open arms
Give your love where it's accepted
And don't forget protect your peace

Too many ya'll done did me wrong
Want me to show you some type of love
Now that all my love is gone
Why don't ya'll leave me alone
Don't wanna talk quit calling my phone
Ion answer my door
Then Ian home
Smoke my weed up on my own
Yeah baby kush is my cologne
Swear out they be having that Za
It's 300 for the zone
Then why ya weed smell like cologne
Now why don't ya'll leave me alone
Too many ya'll done did me wrong
Want me to show you some type of love
Now that all my love is gone
Why don't ya'll leave me alone
Don't wanna talk quit calling my phone
Ion answer my door

Smoke my weed up on my on
Yeah baby kush is my cologne
Swear out they be having that Za

Everybody's gonna try to tell you what to do
And never, never, never, never
Let it be said that it's true
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone
They're the kind of people that'll always let you down
I know you, too, you don't ever give it a frown
Leave me, leave me, leave me...
Don't you know some people
They just don't know when to stop
They can't tell the floor from the ceiling or the top
And there're other types, they always make you wait
And they're always the first to say
The state you come from
Leave me, leave me, leave me...
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me forever
Love me, love me, love me...
Leave me, leave me, leave me...

The perfect ear medicine after having to hear modern music for a small portion of the day.

Went to St. Marks' Church to see David Greenberg recite with Terry Adams accompanying on piano. In the audience were Laurie Anderson and Lou. They didn't have to tell anyone to leave them alone. The two giant armed guards flanking them did that without having to say a word.
