Doin' Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Summertime and the livin's easy
Bradley's on the microphone with ras m.g.
All the people in the dance will agree
That we're well qualified to represent the lbc
Me, and me and louie run to the party
Dance to the rhythm it gets harder.
Me and my girl got this relationship.
I love her so bad, but she treats me like shit
On lock down like a penitentiary
She spreads her loving' all over and when she comes home
There's none left for me.
Oh take this veil from off my eyes
A burning sun will someday rise
What am I gonna be doing' for a wife
Said I'm gonna play with myself
Show them how we come off the shelf
Evil
I've come to tell you that she's evil
Most definitely.
Evil
Ornery, scandalous, and evil
Most definitely.
The tension is getting hotter.
I'd like to hold her head underwater.
Me and my girl,
Got a relationship
Me and my girl,
We've got a relationship
My girl, got a relationship,
Oh and my girl
Take a tip, take a tip, take a t-t-t-t-t-tii-up.
