Remember when we first met
You had a job at that institution
And we were broke as broke as you get
Yeah you know what I talk about
Your job paid as bad as you felt
We used to sneak in when the place was closed and
Steal food and then we closed the belt
On your jacket and walked out
There was this guy I guess you caught his eye
He was a patient at that institution
The way you look there's no wonder why
He started to stalk you
You said that he had stabbed two guys
He was known to carry a knife and
You don't want to lost this fight
'Cause I don't wanna lose you
When things were bad - We were just fine
It's like we rose above the hurt and oppression
It wasn't until life got good that things turned bad
When we were down - We used to smile
It's so absurd, you gotta laugh at the whole situation
It wasn't until life got good that things turned bad
Remember that welfare prick
And how he always tried to make you break down
But you coped just to get that check
You had to swallow your pride girl
But I saw how all of that made you sick
And all I wanted was to punch his lights out
So I said I've had enough of this shit
I guess I pay for us both then
One day my buddy left his crib
Yes, Poxy moved from his own apartment
So that we could have a place to live
I won't forget about that man
2 months in 12 by 15 feet
But we were feeling like a million bucks then
And back then that was a great relief
From all the god damn strife
It could have ended really bad but it didn't
But that's not the story here
You could have made me really sad but you didn't
For at least 5 years
I had to write this I hope I'm forgiven
'Cause this was the love we shared
Here's the end to the dreams that I lived in
I had to make this clear
