Lyrics
1991.01.01 - Music Source Studios

Even in his youth (x3),
he was nothin'
Kept his body clean (x3),
goin' nowhere
Daddy was ashamed (x3),
he was somethin'
Disgrace the family name (x2),
the family name, he was somethin'

Read this form before you're through
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back a slave

Even in his youth (x3),
he was nothin'
Kept his body clean (x3),
goin' nowhere
Daddy was ashamed (x2),
he was ashamed, he was nothin'
Disgrace the family name (x2),
the family name, goin' nowhere'

Read this form before you're through
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back a slave
Yeah

Read this form before you're through
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back again
I'm dyin'

Even in his youth (x2)
Yea yea
Even in his youth (x2)
Yea yea
Even in his youth
Yea yea
Even in his youth
Yea yea (x5)
