MC Paul Barman - It Can All Be Taken Away lyrics

"I buried my daughters and wife with these hands After our house was bombed," said the war-torn man I guess I'd do the same if I'm unlucky enough to get the chance Teardrops fall off my face, and stain and wet my pants [Nawlens and O]? like they say "no doy" Balzac, please get us two crayfish and two lobster poboys Oh boy, it would stink if my city fell in the drink, and we died But when it happens, it happens in the blink of an eye No one sits around, glad they're not blind, but maybe should We can find genius and tragedy in every neighb'yhood God enjoyed the schaudenfruede. Is he making me pay? At any time at all, it can all be taken away Tender clutch, sense of touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing When you lose a leg, it's not like you lost an earring What seems permanent is really temporary That's why a memory doesn't never scare me Just kidding. The past, it haunts me like ghosts But pre-production's over, and we fix it all in post- The only roast I want from Friars is barbecue Breaking up is easy. It's growing up that's hard to do It's unpleasant to think the future could be worse than the present But at least you enjoy the moment and stop and think for a second It's getting a little late in the day for fate to convey It can all be taken away
