Branded Youth - Earthling

You be the Bonny baby I’ll be the Cly-Clyde*

Let me take you, take on another ride

I’ll get you back to your papa by teatime

We’re gonna ease time, we’re gonna freeze time

I’ll be your alibi, I’ll be your samurai

Got what you wanted in the end right

Didn’t see you coming in my headlights

Me and the monkey gonna go on strike

Breaking out of prison like I’m Dolomite

I’m only what I’m like when I’m on the mic

I keep my friends tight

Plug my mic in, keep fighting

Not a black thing, not a white thing

Reading Richard Wright getting lost like lightning

I’m like the kids in that movie called The Shining

I’ve got a plan more simple than Simon

She only stays with me because she thinks she has to

I wanna know but I’m too scared to ask her

I can’t write because my hands are made of plasma

She only stays with me because she thinks she has to

I wanna know but I’m too scared to ask her

I can’t write because my hands are made of plaster

Wickedness is getting easier to master

All this losing got me into new things

I’m in the pawn shop pawning the diamond rings

I buy a gun with the money that they bring

She’s with me, she’s close but we ain’t faking

Didn’t see you coming in my headlights

Me and the monkey gonna go on strike

Breaking out of prison like I’m Dolomite
