This song is about an older guy I met in Ice City, North Oakland one day who lost his house and traded his wife for a drug habit, we shared some smokes and conversed for a few hours and I learned a lot.. Miss You Jamal
lyrics
So the bank foreclosed on me
but its ok I got the job
lookin' for cans on the street
on the street
so I can go and get my fix
don't realize that i'm broken thats why I need it
got a shopping cart for a car
I live under the bridge, don't have to go very far
maybe to the plant to recycle cans
I think I'll kill myself in my dealers van
because he keeps a gun there
and no one has money left to spare
I remember when
I could lay my head next to you
you could take away my pain
now I feel the strain of the millennia
I hold you to my heart one last time
as I make my demise and move on
back to you
words are eyes that blind to truth
