lyrics

Mace is on the corner sellin dreams for a quarter
It’s a dime for a dozen and a nickel for your thoughts
He’s got an old suede jacket and a black slouch hat
Like a pawn shop bellhop he like’s it like that

Oh oh oh

And Danno did his time for a juvenile crime
And now he’s tryna put it all together one last time
I seen him walk on water, seen the fire in his eyes
And he left em all in stitches while his insides cried

Oh oh oh

Billy thinks he’s suicidal and John is seeing things
Brian’s reading all the blood signs and I’m waitin in the wings
For my chance to blow it all wide open, tear this world apart
Don’t care if you got vision, as long as you got heart, and I say

Oh oh oh

And Danno did his time for a juvenile crime
And now he’s tryna put it all together one last time
I seen him walk on water, seen the fire in his eyes
And he left em all in stitches while his insides cried

Oh oh oh

Well my Uncle Charlie lived in Texas and that’s a far aways away from me
Ya know I visited him twice in prison and one time when he was free
I used to have these dreams about him, that they would let him out to visit me
And then I’d wake up with a funny feeling, like somehow he was next to me

Now I know that he’s done alotta bad things, like his head was split into three:
One of em was Uncle Charlie, two’s the devil and the 3rd one’s me

All the men in the jail ain’t innocent
And all the people on the street they ain’t free
Theres a lil bit o crime in every young man’s heart
Take a look in his eyes and you’ll see
