I know its gone bust I used to think the hood was cool but my ghetto ties keep my checkin in my rearveiw [Chorus] Who do you trust? My ghetto ties
ties that bind The little things you do that please me so Oh, the way you always understand When simple joys bring peace of mind These are the ties
shelter is not visible Protection seems to be out of reach The severest way I had to go The longest way I had to fall Now all the ties are torn apart
mean? *"What?"* t**ties and beer t**ties and beer t**ties and beer t**ties and beer t**ties and beer t**ties and beer t**ties and beer!" t**ties and
potion So you're into something that's tough to get out of You got love ties, devotion, devotion It's a very strong potion If love ties pull tight
It?s in your eyes The look of certainty The look of apathy It?s in your eyes I?m not so sure that we have nothing to lose Should have held this closer
He takes the blame for his family's pain ?It's not your fault son? I hear them say And what does he have now but broken dreams? And only promises that
In the dark and sunless hours On the streets of London town There stood you and the boys And you were always messing around When the streets are out ot
We walk side by side with an angel And I hold hands with the devil And everything feels the same It always feels the same Nothing ever changes I can?
Read into it however you read into something That you don?t understand Listen to what you want, it's okay There?s nothing I can do or want to We fall
This is what you get This is what you get This is what you get Everyone?s asking the same thing But you only have one answer, by the way They look at
You walk around with your hands in your pockets You talk too much but you don't like the way you sound Things are better left unsaid, when you?re in
I stand in the light that I cannot see I walk on the ground that I cannot feel I listen for you when you?re calling me I learn to love when all I got
This is where it ends This is where my thoughts are scrambled This is where I end This is where my thoughts are dead This is where I run Into the place
How long will you simple ones Live your simple ways? And fools hate knowledge We should think before we say The animal, the animal has overtaken You
So here I am waiting with my perfect thoughts But they're all dead and wrong This isn't want I expected This isn't what I had in mind, but still I can
Your heart is breaking, you?re feeling dead Love is here for the taking Tired, restless and full of fear You say the words that you shouldn?t This is
How can I keep from straying It?s an easy one, it?s a simple thing Nothing can keep me from dragging my feet It?s a choice I was given, choice I received
