god damn it man i almost had it
stuck in the sewer beneath all the maggots
i ain't foolin' i've been pursuing a way to get out of these dirty old ruins
i'm checkin' out i'm never comin' back again
i'm checkin' out i'm listed m.i.a. god damn it man i almost had
it threw me out the door and called me a faggot
i ain't done i've only yet begun
west oakland is the place where i'm comin' from
well i did it again yeah i do it outta habit
well i'm numb it ain't no fun i'm less than zero
a courtship built from anger is what it amounts
i almost had it i came so close
man i almost had it i almost had it
