Just as it was, baby Before the otherness came And I knew its name But your love was unmoved There is a roadway, muddy and foxgloved Never I'd had life enough My heart is screaming out And in a few days I would be there, love Ever here that's lived in me

You were one of those classic ones You're a legend in my own mind My middle name Traveling around this sun You were one of those classic ones, yeah I wish she knew you Now everybody knows

That one day you'd know my name But now your being brainwashed They never knew what my name was I fought up my corner, didn't I warn ya, A few years older now I'm singing ayo ayo Remember me do you do you remember me Make sure you remember me, make sure

A black eyed dog he called at my door A black eyed dog he knew my name I'm growing old and I wanna go home The black eyed dog he called for more A black eyed dog, a black eyed dog I'm growing old and I don't wanna know A black eyed dog he called for more

Who are you? Who, who, who, who? (Ooh wa, ooh wa, ooh wa, ooh wa, ooh wa, ooh) (Who are you?) (Who, who, who, who?) Well, who are you? (who are you? who, who, who, who?) I really wanna know I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name

Our love was made to rule the world Forget forever You came and broke the perfect girl Forget you ever knew my name, my name, my name, my name You left me wanting what we were I told, I told, I told myself again I'm never running back on what I said

Who are you? Who, who, who, who? (Ooh wa, ooh wa, ooh wa, ooh wa, ooh wa, ooh) (Who are you?) (Who, who, who, who?) Well, who are you? (who are you? who, who, who, who?) I really wanna know I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name

Feel like shovel with dirt thrown side of my name I was so blind, I just couldn't see the hate Forgave all them niggas, I'm still Ray Would have never started rappin' if I knew this shit had came with this Runnin' millions until my legs out Wheelchair

Our love was made to rule the world Forget forever You came and broke the perfect girl Forget you ever You left me wanting what we were Knew my name, my name, my name, my name I told, I told, I told myself again I'm never running back on what I said

You cut your teeth on the lack of answers, singing Come back home and it don't feel the same Well I've bled words onto a page for you And you never knew my name Didn't I warn you not to? Didn't I warn you good? Maybe we couldn't help it Maybe we never
