[A5]I better keep myself from being busted
[A5]I better keep myself out of jail
[A5]'Cause I ain't got a friend to get me trusted
[A5]That's why my mama sends my money through the mail[C5]

[A5]With such a long, long way to go
[A5]But before I started I was cornered on the corner
[A5]Still waiting for my sugar to show
