Walk My Mile - Jackyl

Occupy a knuckle busting forty.

And everyday i walk my mile again.

Stirring black coffee with my toothbrush, staring down the barrell of another

day, I’m the firing pin.

Walked out of school just’a yesterday, walked straight on the line.

I got a man looking over my shoulder but i;

i do my time.

Been holding my head under water so long, I’ve forgotten how to breathe.

If anything good ever happen at all come running.

And i’ll be somebody you dont want to You don’t own me, you don’t get my body

for free.

You can’t shun me cause you’re half a man you wish you could be.

And you can’t run me, this is my reason, I gotta win.

You don’t own me.

I raise my middle finger to the man and WALK MY MILE AGAIN.

There’s a voice calling out to me that i recognize.

It’s a long, long haul.

It’s telling me now that it’s never too late to walk the good for once and for

all.

Still have the time i can own the deed.

Can’t see the starting line.

Oh!

but i can’t concede.

Cause i’ve been holding my head under water so long, i’ve forgotten how to

breathe … …

I gotta say do you want to take a chance.

I gotta say brother do you wanna dance?} I’m home do you wanna take a chance.

I’m on my way.

I make my way.

I’m on my way Stir my black coffee with my toothbrush, staring down the beast

of another day.

And i take it on the chin,…

cause i…

occupy a knuckle busting forty.

And everyday i walk my mile again … x2
