Neglected

Lyrics

[Intro: Female talking] Hey Grouch, I heard your new album It's so great, I really like it a lot Hey, um... Can I get a tape or something? Hey, what do you guys do over at the Outhouse? Can I come over? Hey, let's kick it [Verse 1: Grouch] Momma what's wrong with me? I've got a lovely family and friends And that's enough to make ends meet Fuck dividends But I be livin' in a lonely ass world Searchin' for the perfect woman, not a little girl See, they be dressin' all trashy actin' sassy Spreadin' 'em for flashy fast talkers with the cash, me I can't compete with that I use a beat and raps To fill the gap within my soul But that's gettin' old And I be gettin' told told to spit game, man But to me that shit's lame, I use my mind not a pick-up line It's sick how quick they find comfort in a one night sin I might end up celibate for the hell of it And tell a grip of stories, 'bout how I want a wife How they be lookin' nice, but don't be actin' right And if you slackin' they might lead you to debt Take your last given penny, the thought makes me stress Unless I find a woman with a strong sense of self respect I'll be alone, fiending 'cause I felt neglect [Hook: Grouch] How can something so good be so evil? Something so right be so wrong? I want to put trust into people But I can't so I speak with my song How can something so good be so evil? Something so right be so wrong? I want to put trust into people But I can't so I speak with my songs [Verse 2: Eligh] I grab the notion by the throat That maybe some day I'll be accompanied By somebody who trusts in me deeply Seeping through walls and blockades With stockades of armor, and self-propelled hand grenades I can tell the age by the rings under her eyes So when the mental drift develops it comes with no surprise Unlike most guys I analyse, discuss Organize and thrust forth with new skin Like a reptilian, but a warm-blooded civilian I've decided, even though I fiend it There's too much shit to catch to do it And not mean it Teamin' up on the left and the right My brain in a vice Constant rain over my shoulder And the lightning strikes more than twice I've hiked through the hot spots And stood like a statue on city streets Too busy to notice me My potency And the potential poetry seem to be documented I won't be bothered by bitches, I keep my walk extended Feet to cement, I walk away because you pretended [Bridge] If you're walking down the street and you see me all alone Don't talk to me, I'm in my own place, not to be trashed By any fake dash of a woman that's attractive Like you... Actin' like you're walkin' away [Outro] Walk away... Walkin' away... Get to steppin'
