lyrics

Genius and a Wizard

I'm taking my time so my gun will shine
when I walk right up to your door
But, you won't see it shine from the floor

They said this is the law and it's not far behind
I've got your picture on me and not much time
But, my goal is to shoot you blind

I am a genius and a wizard
but I ain't got nothing on you, honey
'cause you're somehow fooling all the lovers
into believing it's about the money

Even with a death around
I can still hear the sound
of you dragging my name all around town

Yeah I was kind, and yeah I was good
When I was running wild in your neighborhood

And I don't expect sympathy
when they lock me up and throw the key

Because you said, "I have enemies all across this country"
And I bought, bought, bought it
Yeah, I bought it

They should just let me be, 'cause I've got two out there gunning for me
They sit there so quietly out in Oakland city
