Why don't forties come in six packs?

Ooh, what a sweet life of mine

Yes baby, what a sweet life of mine

If I'm not drinking vodka I'm drinking wine

If not loving you I‘m loving what could be mine

I love graffiti I love art

It sends colored chills up my spine

Ooh baby what a sweet life of mine

When I was born my eyes shined bright

Cause God knew I would be might

He knew that with rags or riches I would do right

If I sinned by day I would do right by night

When I was five I beat boys in marbles

Now I juggle them marbles like gargles

When I was ten I fell in love with the tagger

Now I know the bigger the skill the smaller the dagger

When I was fifteen I knew I was born with skill

By sight or touch I could kill

Ooh baby what a sweet life of mine

Trapped in my own imagination

I plot daily the fall of this nation

Cause the law is busy putting us in a plantation

Always coming up with new ways of incarceration

When I was twenty I gave up love for lust

I knew there was no dick I wanted that I could trust

Living this sweet life I laugh

Cause some think I'm a fan of graffiti

When I graffiti the fan

Cause some think just cause I don't know their shit

I don't know mine

Cause in their world I don't try to shine

Ooh baby what a sweet life of mine

Now I know size doesn't matter

Some things are big but not all are like seawater

You try to ride the tide but you sink cause is nothing but pond water

Ooh baby what a sweet life of mine

Not all can tell a bee from a killer bee

Cause some of you yellow is all you see

Meanwhile the freedom song we sing

And, your heart we sting

For those who have taken my pureness for granted

And made me less with their tongues

I will see you in your last dreams

Full of tear river streams

Don't get me wrong my friend is not you I speak of

But those who will remember me in their last dreams

Make sure your ass I didn't sting

I might not look threatening to your eyes

But know, when I sting is a spell I sing

Yes baby what a sweet life of mine
