Hanging By a Thread

Walking down the street with a woman that’s-a-looking
So fine baby gotta shady kind of lady
Ya want mine but you’re just not her type
She gonna pistol whip your ass till the end of time
(Till the end of time yeah)
Got ‘em jumping and humping when you walk that way
Little boys are screaming “mama wanna bitch today” (ha!)
So fine gonna lose their minds I love the way ya
Shake and sway and keep me up all day (keep me up all day)
“baby that way”
Hanging by a thread every time
Walking that-a-very fine line
No-one ever cared for my kind
Hanging by a thread every time
Walking that-a-very fine line
No-one ever cared for my kind
Turning up the heat don’t ya mess around with me
You’ll be sorry when you’re six feet under deep
Ya fucked around on the wrong side of town
Ya better listen to the hissing of the subway crowd
To the underground
Take ‘em down! Yea!
When ya waste a cop then you’re on top you’re king for a day
Put another one away and keep the night time play
So cool, you’re nobodies fool, and sucker punch
That motherfucker sitting next to you, boy
Don’t ya mess around,
Take ‘em down!
Hanging by a thread every time
Walking that-a-very fine line
No-one ever cared for my kind
Hanging by a thread every time
Walking that-a-very fine line
No-one ever cared for my kind
