THE OUTSIDE


VERSE 1

This must be bliss/ you know I love you kids
But don’t try to grow up too quick, just be kids
Come to the fair that’s in ya town, & don’t let ya parents get ya down,
& don’t be wearing a frown, & don’t be staring at the ground
You’re at the fairground no swearing at the crowd there now
And you don’t need no brandy or scotch/
Get ya candy floss like “hand me the box”
Oh! Joe! Think ya handy with shots?/
Hit the stalls try to win little Andy a watch
Missed ya shot? Don’t be angry or cross/
Take it with a smile go & tell ya family ya lost
Hey! How ya fellas feel? Get ya girl 2 squeal on the Ferris wheel
Feeling in the air an ya can tell it’s real
No slowing down, its ya moment pal/
Show’em how uh yeah! We’re going out...

CHORUS

C’mon, its quite nice on the outside/
Won’t you come out and play? Hey!
C’mon, there’s bright skies on the outside/
Won’t you come out and play? Hey!

VERSE 2

I used 2 rap of killing & stuff but there’s a million of us/
Played the villain enough I’m filling up with love plus
Brethren love is strong, & shedding blood is wrong/
Forget of what I said in other songs
I’ve had a change of heart/
In the game I’ve a winning hand I’m now playing my card
Good intellect playing my part could’a been dead but came far
I’m putting to bed the pain of the past
Things I shouldn’t have said I blame pa/
Mistakes I couldn’t correct remain Ahh
Wouldn’t forget the day ma shook her head explained ah/
Should be looking ahead it aint hard
Some blind guys playing a guitar sounds quite nice/
And I asked “how’s life? He replied
“To see without sight, to be without strife/
To speak about life, it’s nice, but on the outside

CHORUS

C’mon, its quite nice on the outside/
Won’t you come out and play? Hey!
C’mon, there’s bright skies on the outside/
Won’t you come out and play? Hey!

VERSE 3

Used to knock the book rob the good/
God I took what I could, proper shook!
Burned crack on the block a crook turned mad from the rock I took
If I could turn back the clock I would
But I’m off the hook, I dropped the hood/
No glock if ya pop the hood “know what?”
He’s a game plan doctor look/
He’s a changed man, let him adopt the hood“
Watch kids on the blocks I live they’ve lots to give/
I’m not lying, positive
Lost myth you cannot define, god’s gift/
Locksmith I unlock the mind
You’ve time still at colleges,
& thru it find minds filled with knowledge kids
You define science build ya offices/
Future Einstein’s and philosophers!

CHORUS

C’mon, its quite nice on the outside/
Won’t you come out and play? Hey!
C’mon, there’s bright skies on the outside/
Won’t you come out and play? Hey!
