My momma said 'Son you know you'll get nowhere,
you'll never get a life with your long hair'
I ain't cut out for no suit and no tie,
and that's the way that I'll live
and the way that I'll die,
Way that I live,
way that I'll die
There ain't no better
There ain't no better
Way that I live
Way that I'll die
C'mon step around me
Step around me.
I choose my clothes 'cos I like the way they look,
Won't get caught up on no fashion hook
Won't eat that same old stuff when I want a slice of pie
and that's the way that I live
and the way that I'll die
Say what I like 'cos I mean what I say
Bow down to no tin god to help me on my way
You can't sell me anything I ain't willing to buy
and that's the way that I live
and the way that I die.
(gonna live before I die 'cos I'm a long time gone)
