Lyrics
I've never screwed anyone that didn't fuck me,
and I don't climb the branch of another man's tree.
I try not to talk behind the back, never enter into
thought if you're Jew or black.
Always pay what I owe, owe what I pay,
doesn't matter if you're female, Muslim or gay.
If you're cool to me I'll be cool to you and if you
lie to me I won't be straight with you!
I never win the lottery, never catch a break,
when I get money back you bet it's a mistake.
When I gamble I should just throw it away.
I take another hit but know I should've stayed.
The green light goes to start the race
but the helmet falls down to cover my face.
I spread my wings and I'm ready to fly and
the wind and thunder clouds cover the sky.
Why does all the crap come back on me,
when does the barrage of bad luck cease?
How long can the black cloud follow me,
how much of this can I take?
Why does all the crap come back on me,
when does the barrage of bad luck cease?
How long can the black cloud follow me,
how much of this can I take?
Why does the black
cloud follow me?
Why does the black
cloud follow me?
Black cloud follow!
When I beat you I was just returning serve,
I climbed the ladder once when I had nerve.
Run for my life but stop to tie my shoe and
when I raped you I was just taming the shrew.
There's a paycheck in my name I see,
but I've got no acceptable form of I.D.
There's a wall at the end of a broken path,
add two and two together but beware of the math.
There's a place on earth where I feel safe,
but I've never been able to find that place.
When I'm high I think I've got it figured out,
but my performance is filled with an aching doubt.
There's a feel in the air that I'm going to win,
but the air up here is extremely thin.
There's a storm cloud chasing me wherever I go,
and the only people helping me keep telling me "no".
Why does all the crap come back on me?
When does the barrage of bad luck cease?
How long can the black cloud follow me?
How much of this can I take?
Why does all the crap come back on me?
When does the barrage of bad luck cease?
How long can the black cloud follow me?
How much of this can I take?
Why does the black cloud follow me?
Why does the black cloud follow me?
Black cloud follow!
and I don't climb the branch of another man's tree.
I try not to talk behind the back, never enter into
thought if you're Jew or black.
Always pay what I owe, owe what I pay,
doesn't matter if you're female, Muslim or gay.
If you're cool to me I'll be cool to you and if you
lie to me I won't be straight with you!
I never win the lottery, never catch a break,
when I get money back you bet it's a mistake.
When I gamble I should just throw it away.
I take another hit but know I should've stayed.
The green light goes to start the race
but the helmet falls down to cover my face.
I spread my wings and I'm ready to fly and
the wind and thunder clouds cover the sky.
Why does all the crap come back on me,
when does the barrage of bad luck cease?
How long can the black cloud follow me,
how much of this can I take?
Why does all the crap come back on me,
when does the barrage of bad luck cease?
How long can the black cloud follow me,
how much of this can I take?
Why does the black
cloud follow me?
Why does the black
cloud follow me?
Black cloud follow!
When I beat you I was just returning serve,
I climbed the ladder once when I had nerve.

How long can the black cloud follow me?
How much of this can I take?
Why does the black cloud follow me?
Why does the black cloud follow me?
Black cloud follow!
