If it came to pass that they should ask
what could i tell them?
would they criticize behind my back
maybe i should let them
oh if only then and only then they would understand
theyd turn a full blooded city boy into a full blooded city man
if they could face it i could take it
in their eyes i know id make it
tiny minds of sacred cows just fake it
oh if only then and only then they would understand
theyd turn a full blooded city boy into a full blooded city man
but i know the way they want me
in the way they publicize
if they could turn the focus off to the image in their eyes
maybe it would help them help them understand
maybe it would help them help them understand
maybe it would help them help them understand
that a full blooded city boy is now a full blooded city man
doo den doo den doo den doo doo doo

oh my soul
oh my soul
oh my soul (repeat 11 times)
