The Low Life (Lyrics)


BACK IN FUNK


I’ve seen’ em come
I’ve seen’ em go
They made it easy
To steal the show

Some had fire
Most just had smoke
I’m gonna get ya higher now baby
Than your favorite flavored dope

I’m gonna get you back in funk
(back in funk yeah)
I’m gonna get you back in funk
(back in funk yeah)
I’m gonna get you back in funk
(back in funk yeah)
I’m gonna get you back in funk

Little girl it’s easy
To see you’re mine
I’m on the scene
Wasting no time

I like the way you dance
I like the way you shake
I’m finally out the grass now baby
How do you like the bite of my snake

I’m gonna get you back in funk
(back in funk yeah)
I’m gonna get you back in funk
(back in funk yeah)
I’m gonna get you back in funk
(back in funk yeah)
I’m gonna get you back in funk
(oh yeah)

Gonna take a ride
Gonna take a ride now
Do you wanna come
Do you wanna come
Do you wanna come with me

Nobody knows, just where it goes
Come on with me
Baby let’s find out
Come on with me
Come on with me, with me
Yeah

I’m gonna get you back in funk
(back in funk yeah)
I’m gonna get you back in funk
(back in funk yeah)
I’m gonna get you back in funk
(back in funk yeah)

Now I got you back in funk



DON’T SLOW ME DOWN


Well I woke up dead
on the floor near the bed, yeah
Woke up chokin’ on a dream come true
Traffic lights, taxis, buildings high yeah
Every night is just a blur

But that don’t, don’t slow me down
That don’t, don’t slow me down
That don’t, don’t slow me down
That don’t, don’t slow me down

New York City is where it’s at yeah
Baby, baby ya believe you me
18 year old girl sell herself for some blow
I woke up next to her just in time for the show

But that don’t, don’t slow me down
But that don’t, don’t slow me down
That don’t, don’t slow me down
That don’t, don’t slow me down

Come on



LEAVE ME ALONE

 
The phone is always ringin’
The boss is always bitchin’
The bitch is always talkin’
The talk is going nowhere, nowhere

The boss is always bitchin’
The bitch is always talkin’
The talk is going nowhere
The talk is going nowhere, nowhere

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

Maybe you’re the reason
Why I’m chasin’ on a dragon
Maybe you’re the reason
Why I’m chasin’ on a dragon

The cops are at the back door
The landlord’s at the front
Girl on the couch is cryin’
Cause she knows what’s in the trunk

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

All you holier than thou
Preachers and teachers and cops
And judges and lawyers and politicians
F**k you



ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD
 

Been down a rough patch of road
All the lies I’ve told, well
Been down a rough patch of road
All the things I’ve stole, well

Been down a rough patch of road
Cuffed and stuffed in the car
Don’t you know, well
Been down a rough patch of road
Fingerprinted, interrogated
Never ratted cause that’s the code, well
Been down a rough patch of road

Don’t leave me on this road alone
Baby take me home, please take me home
Don’t leave me on this road alone
Mama take me home, please take me home

Been down a rough patch of road
Drugs and cops and judges you know, well
Been down a rough patch of road
Sold nearly everything I owned

Been down a rough patch of road
Hurt the ones I used to be so close, well
Been down a rough patch of road
Please forgive me Joe
Been down a rough, patch of road

Don’t leave me on this road alone
Mama take me home, please take me home
Don’t leave me on this road alone
Baby take me home, please take me home
Take me home now baby

Been down a rough patch of road
Life on the run will catch up with you quick
Been down a rough patch of road
Every knock at the door well it makes you feel sick

Been down a rough patch of road
I should’ve listened to that crow
Been down a rough patch of road
Secret of a long life,
Is knowing when it’s time to go
Been down a rough patch of road

Don’t leave me on this road alone
Mama take me home, please take me home
Don’t leave me on this road alone
Mama take me home, please take me home
Take me home now baby

Secret of a long life
Is knowing when it’s time to go, well
Secret of a long life
Is knowing when it’s time to go, well
Secret of a long life
Is knowing when it’s time to go, well
Secret of a long life
Is knowing, when it’s, time, to go

S.U.N.Y. GIRL

S.U.N.Y. girl, S.U.N.Y. girl
Lord help me I’m in love
With you S.U.N.Y. girl
S.U.N.Y. girl, S.U.N.Y. girl
Lord help me I’m in love
With you S.U.N.Y. girl

Well I met you on a Friday
Fell for you by Sunday
But you had to go back to school
When Monday came
We agreed to keep everything N.S.A.
And it was hot the mystery that came
From not exchanging names

Only thing I know about you girl
Other than what makes your toes curl
Is that you went to a State University
Of New York school, little S.U.N.Y. girl

S.U.N.Y. girl, S.U.N.Y. girl
Lord help me I’m in love
With you S.U.N.Y. girl
S.U.N.Y. girl, S.U.N.Y. girl
Lord help me I’m in love
With you S.U.N.Y. girl

Yeah I’ve been looking everywhere for you
But I still, can’t find

I been to New Paltz, Oneonta,
Plattsburg, do you wanna
Binghamton, Stony Brook, Brockport
Take a look Cornel and Buffalo in the snow

I been to Potsdam, Purchase, Fredonia
Geneseo, Oswego, Cortland and
All the way back to good old Albany 
But I still can’t find you girl
Yeah, yeah
Now dig

I like long and I like lean, 
I like thick and curvy
Everything in between, S.U.N.Y. girl
Was the hottest thing I ever seen

S.U.N.Y. girl, S.U.N.Y. girl
Lord help me I’m in love
With you S.U.N.Y. girl
S.U.N.Y. girl, S.U.N.Y. girl
Lord help me I’m in love
With you S.U.N.Y. girl

Well you tasted sweet like honey
Had a belly button ring
And the subtle scent of rose upon your skin
So if you’re listening to the radio
And you hear this song look me up
At Sly Fox and the Hustlers dot com

Cause you’re in my dreams
Yeah you’re in my dreams
If I don’t love you 
I don’t know what love means

S.U.N.Y. girl, S.U.N.Y. girl
Lord help me I’m in love
With you S.U.N.Y. girl
S.U.N.Y. girl, S.U.N.Y. girl
Lord help me I’m in love
With you S.U.N.Y. girl



BET YOUR LIFE


Winter ground is cold
And hard for diggin’
But I’m not in the mood for forgivin’

Got one shot to do this
Gotta do this right
Might not be tomorrow
Might not be tonight

Hudson River frozen hard for sinkin’
As you can tell
I’ve been doing some thinkin’

Got one shot to do this
Gotta do this right
Might not be tomorrow man
Might not be tonight

You can bet your life
What you do comes back to you
You can bet your life
I will never forget
You can bet your life
This ain’t over, yet

Now I got the plan
But the best ones, you can’t tell
Take this secret with me
To Heaven or Hell

Got one shot to do this
Got to do this right
Might not be tomorrow
It might be tonight

You can bet your life
What you do comes back to you
You can bet your life
I will never forget

You can bet your life
This ain’t over, yet

It ain’t over yet
It ain’t over yet
It ain’t over yet
This ain’t over yet
Yeah
