Black Snake Moan

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't ever play nice, I don't ever fight fair And since my mother packed this shit, it ain't gon' be the same here She ain't never coming back, I can feel it in the air I mean, why the fuck would she? Spitting image of my father Hang myself above the mantel, feet swinging 'bove a threshold Cold body blocks the doorway Can't get to my ambition while I'm fighting my addiction To women who don't love me, they just wanna be submissive My problems and my issues I just spray 'em with an Uzi, leave 'em oozing on a corner I am locked in institutions, a chamber of my secrets I am seeking retribution I slither back from Houston with a pint and a pack of Swishers Never speeding in the city [Hook] So when you told me that you love me, I know that that's a lie I could hear it in your moans, and I could see it in your eyes And I could taste it on your skin, all the places you done been All the nights you done spent in all them other beds When you tell me that you love me, I know that that's a lie I could hear it in your moans, and I could see it in your eyes And I could taste it on your skin, all the places you done been All the nights you done spent in all them other beds [Verse 2] I am just a son of Adam, this path is straight and narrow I'm a man made from women, never beaten, never broken Got a father down below and a father up in Heaven And I still ain't never met him, and man, let me tell you Ain't no stairways to heaven, only highways to hell From cities full of killers and nightmarish villains And blackhearted women tryna to rob you of your feelings
