Da Circle - Earthworm lyrics

Life is cheap if you got no cash You can pay lay away Let that money be your game Sure you want to play Borrow against what you don't have Pay it down to pay it back Take a chance to break away Feel the whip 'cross your back Tote that barge and lift that bail What they cried long ago Fifty large to ride that rail Well, that's just how it goes Earthworm thrives on the dirt He is legion with no man's friend Bad boys from New Orleans Bought a small tank and hit the road Feel the heat, breath the dust Scratch your name at the barrel's end Never know who to trust Uptown, Downtown, know your place Could be a heavy fine Make sure no one sees your face as You sneak across the line Try to look as though you belong Don't look straight in the eyes Keep your head down and do not smile Boy, don't you ever cry Earthworm thrives on the dirt Meets a man at the riverbed Bad boys, they're from East L.A Players strive to make their mark With the money they make Hoping they don't cross a narc Or a foe on the take They don't care who they hurt Or who has to die If they're 'round just be alert Ain't no reason why Does the Devil guide their sin? Does he plan from below? Or is the evil within the man? Greed and lust make it grow Make your money off other's pain Keep the poor people high When their misery is your gain Don't you stop 'n' wonder why Like a cancer the sickness grows Money keeps it alive How many dead? God only knows And kids believe the lie How high will the bodies pile? How many moms will bury sons? We turn away all the while Feeling nothing to be done Earthworm thrives on the dirt He has no future on the wheel Bad boys from Birmingham
