Sage Francis - Locksmith lyrics

[Male & Female Computer voices] [x2] I. Feel. A. Little. Apprehensive. Talking to You you. About. My. Life. With. My. Own. Voice Although. I. Think. People. Will. Relate. And. Understand [Verse One] Dade County Miami 1976 A baby boy, livin' in a hotel with his parents Mommy was a maid there Don't really know what pops did but He was trainin' to be a locksmith We moved up the coast Back to where the grandparents lived Perhaps for cash I didn't think to ask as a kid And I don't where pops went, but things seemed stable Even when he left his keys on the table My single mom She was able to make it without relationships Every so often, pops would show up and babysit It never made me think about his day job a lot Until the day when my mom's changed the locks In those days When he watched me, when I think back, in some ways Made up of coffee, six packs and gun play p**nography and projects, step siblings and half relatives But havin' kids is bad for business Girlfriends were the rage then Babies in the playpen Toddlers were forgotten in front of television stations It wasn't just one way to say things Between the two households I out rode all types of combinations Breakin' these codes and peekin' through key holes Finger on the pulse, stethoscopes broke the needle Put my ear to the ground, you hear the pins drop Gears in the clock Turned like my stomach turned like the dial on a padlock Rhode Island was the backdrop The world was the oyster Crack the shell, hand the pearl over to the lawyer In family court I make judgments I'm a product of my father's trade and my mother's substance [Male & Female Computer voices] [x2] I. Feel. A. Little. Apprehensive. Talking to You you. About. My. Life. With. My. Own. Voice Although. I. Think. People. Will. Relate. And. Understand [Outro] That kid weighs twelve pounds WITH my dick in his mouth
