Break My Bones
To these bones, I work
Until these bones like stones just break
No time to waste, then it gets my waist
Losing weight, losing weight
The man has his hand on my plan to escape
Cutting county jail, oh boy, I can't wait
Gotta outrun these dogs, I hope I'm in shape
I dashed through the forest, I splashed through the lake
Quick lickity split, this escape I make
But it's too late
The cops spotted the stolen car on my getaway plates
Too lonely, too late on my failed felony foiled escape
You break my bones
You burn my home
Bury the bodies in the yard
We won't get far, we won't get
Far is the last place you're getting
I pray to God when you hear this you're listening while you're sitting
And if you're witty, believe me, I'm outwitting
And if it's payback, then believe me, it's a whole lot that I'm giving
It's not smart to play with someone who has no regard for living
Click-clack, zip back, body bags go missing
The death is the death in me
The bodies represent sinning
I hate breaking down these lyrics for people not listening
And the skeletons of the past stack and stack
And I normally place them out back by the shack
And God says they're at the bottom of the sea all over the map
But at this rate and at this pace, right now at this place
An ocean just isn't enough space
I'ma need outer space when my sins make the ocean run out of space
Oh yes, oh yes, I'm out of place
This is not my home
Even though the religious try to break my bones
You break my bones
You burn my home
Bury the bodies in the yard
We won't get far, we won't get far
So give me all you got
Take your best shot
Give me all you've got
'Cause I won't break, I won't break
