Nobody can breathe under a blanket of suspicion
It's easy to live when you don't really mean to
Be sure not to live too much some mother might see you
[Chorus]
Oh, but I've, got control of my life
And I give it one hell of a try, hell of a try
Now to be a free spirit you've got to get religion
Before you hit that throttle you've gotta have position
Beware of the state (Hah) they might eat your lunch now
They'll take a pacifier from your baby's mouth now
[Chorus]
Oh, but I've, got control of my life
And I give it one hell of a try, hell of a try
Now you look on any corner you can see a sweet potato
Ooo, hoping he can find himself a sexy hot tomato
He's got lead in his pencil but no one to write to
He ain't got no pen pal but you know he'd like two
[Chorus]
Oh, but I've, got control of my life
And I give it one hell of a try, hell of a try
Now the city's gettin' hotter and everybody's bitchin' Nobody can breathe under a blanket of suspicion It's easy to live when you don't really mean to Be sure not to live too much some mother might see you [Chorus] Oh, but I've, got control of my life And I give it one hell of a try, hell of a try Now to be a free spirit you've got to get religion Before you hit that throttle you've gotta have position Beware of the state (Hah) they might eat your lunch now They'll take a pacifier from your baby's mouth now [Chorus] Oh, but I've, got control of my life And I give it one hell of a try, hell of a try Now you look on any corner you can see a sweet potato Ooo, hoping he can find himself a sexy hot tomato He's got lead in his pencil but no one to write to He ain't got no pen pal but you know he'd like two [Chorus] Oh, but I've, got control of my life And I give it one hell of a try, hell of a try Explain Request ×
