lyrics

ugh I'm gone till November, I packed my bags
left you this poem as a memento
honey I won't forget ya, I'll be back before the winter
when i shine like the summer to keep you warm like a placenta
but until we meet again let a man be a man
Auf Wiedersehen let me fly, get em hooked, Peter Pan
you screaming at me, cuz lately you see the credit card debt is large
we even tried a money seminar, but for what?
to get a new suit for the office, or buy ham at the supermarket
gettin loofahs at target?
Nah, too worried bout the rent, health insurance and cancer
too many damn questions, we don't worry bout answers
see life will teach you, so baby let her teach
I'd rather get a letter grade A than have her let us B
so let me set us free, we'll see it through woman
and have faith I'll see you soon woman

I understand you woman, I hear your clock is tickin
the state of mind that you're in (urine), without the pot to piss in
to show that I care, I'll go with you to IKEA
just to make-up like eyecare, but my mind is not there
back in the past again, to that freshman in class again
wishing his academic advisor would stop harassing him
what did I master in, huh? will I ever know?
and we keep gettin bills, like we play in Buffalo
went from trying to make the dean's list to the D list
Kathy Griffin style, yet I still dream big
thats when I go away
steady trying to hold the weight of the world on my shoulder blades
will (wheel)  power, roller blades
When I return, I know you're riding with me
empty man, you fill (feel) the crack like Bobby and Whitney
so let me set us free, we'll see it through woman
and have faith i'll see you soon woman

I can take you further
let me take you further
so honey honey, please don't let those mountains block our sunlight for today
I promise we'll be living in the future, the chains will loosen
see this is my solution, lets Go!

uh uh so let me take you outta here,
uh uh now let me take you outta here
yahh, uh now let me take you outta here
life's cold I'm leavin for the heat call me cavalier

Hey baby, I break those chains baby
I'm back again baby, it ain't no thang baby
so say my name baby, i make you sing baby
you know you're meant for something better
better late than having never lived your life

Life is short but a 6'3" fella gotta rise above
Stand tall, Voli in the building, landlord
super, superman, i'm the future
Forget the sky, the stars is where i'm aimin (amen) Hallelujah
you know I used to Love H.E.R., but now hip hop she lookin beat
like I produced her, shall I abuse her?
Never
I'll take a different position, like Kamasutra,
I'm going hard, these tracks are the eyes of Madusa
they make me rock it, do ya
 know that errrytime I suit up, fix my collar and tie my noose up,
go to work in that hearse that im driving, i stay alive for this music, mama
baby we ain't no zombies lets live it up
no puppets but we gonna let Gavidia string it up.

uh uh Now string it up
yahhh String it up
yahhh uh uh Now string it up
thats my motherfuckin Guitar Man Gavidia

Now let it rock, baby
Let it rock, baby
Lemme rock, baby
