Tré Burt - By the Jasmine lyrics

Artist: Tré Burt

album: You, Yeah, You


When Dante woke up, he didn't mean to
He coulda used a little more time in his dreams
But it was gettin late in the evening
And as depressed as he was he went walking
In that buzzing night
And by the jasmine on the corner
He fit his headphones tight around his big ol head
He let the soundtrack move him through the city
Yeah just a black boy walkin with moonlight in his eye
Karen Johnson was out jogging
With her neon vest and a chocolate lab named Sam
She just bought a house for next to nothin
Right across the street from where our hero
Lays his head
Her wristwatch counted every footstep
As she shot like an arrow through the night
She thought to get in a run before her early morning
Yea just a white girl runnin with the law on her side
And on a poor lit street she saw Dante standin
But to her he looked like a big black gun
She reached for her phone
Dialed 911
And in a matter of minutes
Dante was gone
When Dante woke up, he didn't mean to
He coulda used a little more time in his dreams
