That boy on the corner, he be sellin? fluff
Can³g tell him nothin,³vause his life is tough
Gotta make a livin,? he be out all night
But the old folks say betty raised that boy up right
My mama said
Boy, you need some holy water
My mama said
Sprinkle that boy with holy water
My mama said
Come on, come on, drink some holy water
My mama said
Come on, come on, child, take the lord with you
Babies makin? babies, doin? deals in the street
Boy³f got a deadline with a windin? sheet
His baby-mother, outta school, outta dreams
Caught up in soaps while little malcolm screams
My mama said
Boy, you need some holy water
My mama said
Sprinkle that boy with holy water
My mama said
Come on, come on, drink some holy water
My mama said
Come on, come on, child, take the lord with you
Sprinkle that boy with holy water, child
Everyone knows you can³g fight fire with fire!
Ashes to ashes, from cradle to grave
Drink holy water, that boy can sure be saved!
