Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't want no high rise tombstone
Gonna gather up my saints
Don't wanna hear you fussing, no
If it is or if it ain't
If it is or if it ain't
And my life needs no witness
And my burden is my own
My burden is my own
[Verse 2]
I'm in
Ooh I'm out
And I'm gone
I'm gone, gone
[Verse 3]
You gotta answer to somebody
You gotta answer to somebody
If you didn't learn
Then you didn't read
Gotta live with it
Gotta live with it, yeah
What's a man to do?
What's a man to do?
Gotta answer to somebody
Answer to somebody
Gotta answer
Answer, yeah
[Verse 4]
And I'm in
Ooh I'm out
And I'm gone
Gone, I'm gone, gone, gone
[Verse 5]
The death row preacher
Came to the backdoor to greet her
Hardly blame her
For trusting a one armed lion tamer
She stepped in from a storm
She was dry as a bone
The preacher thought to himself
The devil takes care of his own
She said look what your prayers
Look what they've done to me
What can your prayers, do for me?
Preacher said careful talking to yourself
'Cause you may be listening
Careful talking to yourself
'Cause you may be listening
[Verse 6]
I'm in
Ooh I'm out
And I'm gone
