Leading a life for which there’s no excuse
It’s like a point of pride how people tell people they been seduced
Now don’t you go takin away my phony sense of security
Because without it where in the world would I be?
Sometimes i walk out to the corner, in the middle of the night
When there’s no one (else) around, to read the traffic light
I can still cross the street, can still make a phone call home
I’m still 3 hours in a plane, away from the warzone
We’ve heard what we’ve heard, and we know what we know
We take things as they come, things are taken from us, that’s the way things go
And even if you’re never slippin, the nightmares come rippin
So I pray to stay steady: keep a rockin’ but always on the ready
