Carter Candlestick - Twiddle

Carter candlestick was born in 1956

In '65 his mother died and left him on the street

All alone now no food or home now

He had to beg to eat and find a place where he could sleep

And late at night he shut it tight and let his mind go free

No looking back now this is your life now

He met a kid named Dean who taught him almost everything

Like how to steal and get free meals and how to write and read

No school for me now school would be good now

Carter soon could speak the twisted language of the streets

Make a plan rob a stand start off as a thief

12 years old now still doing fine now

This is the life of carter candlestick

One hell of a thief one hell of a myth

He walked the streets with an amazing gift

To pick the pockets of the greedy rich

In 1973 Carter was the slickest thief

He’d take your money take your pride and all your precious keys

Watch the house now save all the cash now

He’d wait for them to leave than open it up with the keys

Eat some food watch the tube than start to search for things

Jewelries here now here’s a big safe now

He took the goods with speed went out the back and left the keys

Walked down the block right passed a cop and smoked a stog with ease

Walking free now keeping your cool now

By age 23 carter new that he was free

12 grand a week and place to sleep the life he dreamed to lead

No more pain now I run the show now

This is the life of carter candlestick

One hell of a thief one hell of a myth

He walked the streets with an amazing gift

To pick the pockets of the greedy rich
