[A] [Am] [A]
Heard of a band loaded with weapons,
got nothing ready to go.
[Am]
Heard of T-Band sons,
I'll find that highway,
place where no one knows.
The sound of gunfire,
now I feel the distance,
I feel it, you feel it now.
[A]
[Em] Lived in a brothel,
lived in a ghetto,
[A]
I've lived all over this town.
[C] [E]
This ain't no party,

this ain't no fooling around.
No time for dancing,
I ain't got the fall down.
[A]
Can't get the message,
to the receiver,
hope [Am] for an answer [A] someday.
I got three fast fronts,
a couple of features,
you don't even [A] know my real [C] name.

Sleeping the daytime,
working the nighttime,

You ought to know,
stand by the window,
somebody's sitting up there.
I got some groceries,
some peanut butter,
some ice to come home today.
But I ain't got no speakers,
ain't got no headphones,
ain't got no records to play.
[E]
Why stay in college?
Why go to night school?
Could have been different this time.
Can't write a letter,
can't send no postcard,
I ain't got time for that now.
[Am]
Trouble in transit,
got to do the roadblock,
been spending it in the crowd.
We've got to do this,
we're tapping for luck,
I know that that ain't allowed.
We dress like schools,
we dress like housewives,
only got some time.
I've changed my hair style so many times now,
I don't know what I look like.
You make me feel better,
I feel so better,
you make me feel pretty,
you make me feel pretty,
don't get exhausted,
I'll do some driving,
you ought to catch you some sleep.
I ain't got no
