lyrics

Father Joe doesn't know
Where I've been or where I'll go
Out on the corner sowing seed
Telling me Jah got everything I need
And only true love is gonna set me free

I'm just a poor man
Living in the dope land
Looking for some bread to eat
Can you spare some change
Or some dust for my pain
Maybe you could share with me

Something to get me through the morning
Something to get me through the morning
Something to get me through the morning

Paid the Piper
Handled my dues
Been walking these streets in these worn out shoes
Gonna keep on rocking till my movie stops
Gonna leave this world with the jewels that I drop
I'm not the hypocritical political type
Never killed a man but I do stay high
My dreams will soon come true you'll see
And if you see the dope man holler at me

Father Joe doesn't know
Where I've been or where I'll go
Out on the corner spreading cheer
Said
Can't taste the Ocean sitting on the pier
And only true love is gonna make it clear

I'm your local dope man
Living off these coke bags
Bet I got just what you need
And if you need a taste
Got no time to waste
You know this first bags on me

And it will get you through the morning
Something to get you through the morning
You can find me in the morning

Call me the piper
OG
Loc
Been running these streets since before I know
Self made man
Daddy of three
And if you need protection
I'm the one to see
And if you need direction
I'm the one to call
You can call me the mayor
I'm above the law
We family
Set blood
4 LIFE
NOW AND FOREVER
Want you by my side

Father Joe doesn't know
Where I've been
Or where I'll go
He says
Don't give control to the man you fear
And you'll never taste the ocean sitting on the pier
And only true love is gonna make it clear
