Behind Closed Doors

Forward, forward, back, back, back
 I've fallen and I can't get up and I'm slipping through the cracks
 I'm in a crisis and I can't afford the prices
 No means to feed my family, never mind the nices
 No escape, no pleasure
 I really can't seem to get my shit together
 Can't protect my children from the weather
 Me and my baby skin grows the toughest leather
 --CHORUS X2--
 Where do they go?
 When it rains
 Where do they go?
 When it snows
 Where do they go?
 When the cold winds blow
 Where do they go?
 When we are warm behind closed doors
 The children cry themselves to sleep
 Another night with no food to eat
 Tear soaked pillow is a step of concrete
 It's enough to drive me to rob steal kill or cheat
 You may ask how can you live this rigid life
 No means to feed or house your babies and your wife
 As I will, I sunk to depths you can't fathom
 My lifes a blunder, it's no wonder why you can't imagine
 --CHORUS X2--
 REGGAE BREAKDOWN
 Dem a go back down, dem a go way out
 Back to this real world we live in
 Dem a too far down, dem a too far out
 For the real concern we're givin'
 Dem all rob and steal, shoot up and kill
 Is the common misconception
 We all justify, we all ease our minds
 With these deceptions
 Now if life was a thing that money coulda buy
 Then the rich man would make war and the poor man would fight
 The rich mother would pity while the poor mother would cry
 While the rich make excuses and the poor people die
 Type a thing make I wanna go run and hide
 Back to me condo over off of Rodeo Dr.
 Grab a beer, try to remember a verse from the Bible
 Put on me Tivo and see who's off American Idol
 --CHORUS X2--
