You can't afford no ring I shouldn't be wearing white and you can't afford no ring You finally took my hand Mama don't approve Baby's on its way It took a nip of gin But you finally took my hand Daddy says he's the best in town

I won't ever be your cornerstone. Watch her run, can you feel it? I don't want to be here holding on. A single book of matches gonna burn what's standing in the way. Roaring down the mountain, they're calling on the fire brigade. Carry out the pictures

I carry the cross, if Virgin Mary had an abortion I'd still be carried in the chariot by stampeding horses Had to bring it back to New York I'm happy that the streets is back in New York For you rappers, I carry the cross Y'all can keep y'all weak beats,
