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)
