The Prophet

I never thought too much on wealth

To let me keep it for myself,

But while the world's been turning upside-down

It's hard to talk about.

Another bottle off the shelf

With the hand that you've been dealt.

What's going wrong's been going on

It's time for you to scream and shout.

And I ain't no prophet

To cure some damn disease.

And would you help me anyway

If I was on my knees?

I'm going through my time of change

In my time of need,

And every little thing is gonna

Be all the same.

I never thought too much on wealth

To let me keep it for myself,

But while the world's been turning upside-down

It's hard to talk about.

Another bottle off the shelf

With the hand that you've been dealt.

What's going wrong's been going on

It's time for you to scream and shout.

I went to that corner store

To get myself a bottle of beer.

I was rollin with a friend of mine

When the liquor was a little more clear.

I always knew what I wanted from the start

Was a reason just to get out late.

Drinkin early was a dream for the summertime,

Music, and my seed, Mary Jane.

I never thought too much on wealth

To let me keep it for myself,

But while the world's been turning upside-down

It's hard to talk about.

What's going wrong's been going on

It's time for you to scream and shout.

It's time for you to scream and shout.

It's time for you to scream and shout.
