lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sittin' on cement on Carroll Street
Is Maurice
Three papers heroin and speed
Waitin' for daddy
Jail was always more forgiving
Every sunrise makes it worth living
From the ground he looks up to heaven but
Highrises gleam

[Pre-Chorus 1]

"Here I am in my disparity
You can have my life if you can make it
Spare a little bit of your charity?"

[Verse 2]

Jenny, in a condo, waterfront
Lounging on snakeskin
Martini, T3, Tramacet
Daddy's gone again

[Pre-Chorus 2]

"Look at me in my prosperity
You can have my life if you can fake it
I don't waste my time on charity
You can have my life if you can break it

[Chorus 1]

If you can make it
If you can take it
If you can fake it
Come on and take a hit!"

[Verse 3]

Jеnny crosses town on the rarest day
Runs into Mauricе
"Lady, could you spare some charity
Before you call the police?"
They carry on, neither turns around
Hope to never see the other again
Twenty steps away, they say
"You may be just like me."

[Pre-Chorus 3]

"Here I am in my disparity
You can have my life if you can make it
Spare a little bit of your charity?
You can have my life if you can take it."
"Look at me in my prosperity
You can have my life if you can fake it
I don't waste my time on charity
You can have my life if you can break it
[Chorus 2]

If you can make it
If you can take it
If you can fake it

[Outro]

You wanna take a hit?
You wanna take a hit?"
