[Verse 1]

            
It was a big b

Pushing each o

By eleven smok

still roaming
            
Soon we'll be 

          
30 years old


[Verse 4]

            
I'm still lear

My woman brought children for me

So I can sing

And I can tell them stories

Most of my boy

Some are still

And some I had

nd

My brother I'm still sorry
