Start: Somebody almost walked off wid alla my stuff Not my poems or a dance i gave up in the street But somebody almost walked off wid alla my stuff Like a kleptomaniac workin hard & forgettin while stealin

[... .. ...]

End: i’ll give it to ya/ yeh/ i’ll give it to ya/ Round 5:00 in the winter/ when the sky is blue-red/ & Dew City is gettin pressed/ if it’s really my stuff/ Ya gotta give it to me/ if ya really want it/ i’m The only one/ can handle it
