lyrics

VERSE 1
Big Al didn’t used to be so big/
all throughout high school he was the little kid/
people didn’t like him unless he took his meds/

Al wasn’t comfortable at first/
he’d always been the good kid, IZ the worst/
but none of the good kids came to his aid/

that’s how Al got into such foul play/

CHORUS1
Now Al’s dealing on the streets/
hallucinogenics, disguised as sweets/
If IZ hadn’t picked him up when he was down/
told him to turn his life around/

VERSE 2

Al’s living the high life, Kid/
He’s got a pimped ride, living big/
He’s never got more respect/

He’s feeling lucky, has a wife/
Got two kiddos, loving life/
He never thought what he did was wrong/

CHORUS2

Now Al’s ruling the streets/
He’s getting old, he’s never been so bold/
So, when the cops busted in, “Its a raid!”/
Al quickly hit the ground, just like when he was down/

Al finds out he’s been framed/
IZ’s on some insane crusade/
“I’m cleansing the streets from you scum!”/

But Al says, “We were just kids!”/
“You made us this way!”/
“Why IZ, why?”/

Other:

You see, this took Al by surprise/
it eventually leads to his/
demise/

cause, IZ was one big/
idol in his eyes/
Big Al dies/

'Sinking Feeling' (Nobody Hates You version) was on a playlist I made for a 2014 trip to Hawaii. It's a great tune that makes me happy. This comp is an insanely good deal, get it theMichaelFrank

From a quiet place in the heart, the music of Looks Like Mountains should come. Maybe they will be inspired after watching the passage of the clouds. ❤ Propuesta Cultural
