A-who, who, awho, who...
Dennis:
the childhood part of my life wasn't very pretty.
you see, i was born and raised in the slums of the city.
it was a one room shack we slept in, other children beside me.
we hardly had enough food or room to sleep.
it was a hard times, needed something to ease my troubled mind.
Paul:
ooo, listen.
my father didn't know the meaning of work.
he disrespected mama and treated us like dirt.
i left home seekin' a job that i never did find.
depressed and down-hearted, i took to cloud 9.
i'm doing...(fine)
up here. (on cloud nine)
listen one more time.
i'm doing...(fine)
up here. (on cloud nine)
Dennis:
folks now they tell me.
they say, give yourself a chance and don't let life pass you by.
but the world around you is a rat race.
where only the strong survive.
it's a dog-eat-dog world and that ain't no lie. (ain't no lie)
listen, it ain't even safe no more, to walk the streets at night.
