You're the best thing about me The best thing that ever happened a boy I'm the kind of trouble that you enjoy The best things are easy to destroy The best thing about me Why am I walking away? The best thing When you look so good, the pain in your face

Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down I will ease your mind When you're weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all I'm on your side when times get rough And friends just can't be found When you're down and out

Keep'n it real Gotta big up all my peoples who be working on the future Though they know they gotta struggle To all my homies working on the 9 to 5 And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble Although sometimes I know it seems impossible There

'Do it slow' I don't know Alabama's gotten me so upset Tennessee made me lose my rest And everybody knows about Mississippi goddam But that's just the trouble The name of this tune is Mississippi goddam And I mean every word of it Can't you see it

And you may walk a lonely road But you will never walk, walk, walk alone You will never walk, walk, walk alone You will never walk, walk, walk alone, oh, woah I got two, baby If you're in trouble I got you, baby Nothing that I wouldn't do, baby And

You did your best or did you? Sometimes I think I hate you I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this I can't believe I'm sayin' it I know you were a troubled man I know you never got the chance To be yourself, to be your best I hope that heaven's given you

Who are rich and troubles are few May come around to see my point of view What price the crown of a King on his throne When you’re chained in the dark all alone I'm as real as they come, I follow the rules I'm still in the hood but I probably should move

Just be as you are Be as you are, be as, be as you are But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand And she told me, young man There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are
