Back in '78, I was a kid,
I didn't know shit and I never did
When the summer got hot, we prayed for rain
But since the lights went out I've never been the same
But when we got older I caught the guts
Livin' in the park with the rest of the nuts
But I waiver, I feel it heavy on my mind
A life-saver that's been there all the time
And she don't lie, she don't lie but I do
She don't know, she don't know what I do
And it play heavy on my mind
The booker got blessed on her date of birth
From Green Point Ave crossed to Benison Hearse
She keeps my family together, keeps my foes at bay
When she's chillin' off the leash you better stay away
I remember you and I, we used to chill on a stoop
Maxin' and lookin' without any loop
Now you got it going strong I feel long in the tooth
Now you got it going strong I feel long in the tooth
And I don't know what to feel anymore
But I'm trying, I'm trying to tell her
And I don't know what to think anymore
But I think, I think I ought to build myself up now
Chorus (3x)
