Testo Back Against The Wall - Curtis Mayfield
Testo della canzone Back Against The Wall (Curtis Mayfield), tratta dall'album Short Eyes - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Sittin' here waiting for tomorrow
But I don't think it'll ever come
Well, just to think that I'm a young dude
My whole life is almost gone, well, well
This prison life's a pressure
Keeps my back against the wall
Constant lookout for the snakes and the bandits
Programmed leans toward us in law
I keep my back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
My friends now have all but cut me loose
On the outside playing safe, it's alright
'Cause in here's just like leaving the homeland, baby
If I survive it back, I could love your face
You're just a number from the past
I'm still sitting here today
I don't know nothing about my future, baby
But with my life, I gotta pay
They got my back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
My back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
Sittin' here waiting for tomorrow
Don't think it'll ever come
Just to think that I'm a young dude
Well, my whole life is almost gone, well
Street con gonna show me the ropes
Oh, coolest way to deal it in the streets, hey, hey
Took my mind, woman, damn near my soul
Judge prison sentence, then cut me deep, hey
They had my back against the wall
Keep my back against the wall
Back against the wall
Keep my back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
Back against the wall
Wall, back against the wall
Wall, baby
