From the recording Sounds for Sore Eyes
Lyrics
This isn't even a State of the Union
I tell you I've tried and I've tried but I can't get through to no one
I hate to be that guy who knows
But when I cry I hate to say I told you so
How many times I've watched them stumble and then fall
They never read what's on the wall
How many times I've watched them get caught up in it all
Before you walk you've got to crawl
This ain't about being a know-it-all
I'm just trying to help you out when you're stuck behind the eight-Ball
You wanna get mad when I call you out
I just wanna help you not end up like them
Trust me there's no doubt
How many times I've watched them stumble and then fall
They never read what's on the wall
How many times I've watched them get caught up in it all
Before you walk you've got to crawl
How many times I've watched them stumble and then fall
They never read what's on the wall
How many times I've watched them get caught up in it all
Don't put yourself behind the eight ball
How many times how many times
How many times are you going to put yourself behind the eight Ball
Don't put yourself
Don't put yourself behind the eight Ball
