I Looked Over My Shoulder
by Lonnie Holley
feat. billy woods

Verse
Now I'm a bum
If that's what they wanna call me
Now I'm a homeless person
If that's what they wanna say
Now I'm a baby
Without what I need
I can't help but to keep wondering
Will I make it
To the day

Chorus
I can't help but
To keep looking
Over my shoulder
To see
To see

Verse 2
I seen 'em
I saw my people
Without food to eat
Anywhere to lay their heads
Waitin’ in all kind of lines
Lined up
Just to be lined up
Ooh, to get lined up

Chorus
I looked over my shoulder
Looked over my shoulder

Verse 3
People cryin’
Quakin’ and breakin’
Falling apart
Bloody heads
And stiff bodies
Dogs chasin’ ‘em all around
Snappin’ at you
To make you bleed
Out to fight you

Verse 4: billy woods
I keep a piece of the puzzle to watch ‘em struggle
Put me anywhere in the world, I’ll find my people like trouble
I’ll find my way through the rubble
Finders keepers when I find me a piece of what’s theirs
Hunter seekers but never find the lair
Carpet on the stairs, you never heard me comin’
Never caught unawares, my default is not
These niggas up to something
(They up to something)
Feel it in the air like policemen truncheon
I’m what the cat drug in
Half-dead and gaspin’
One good eye looking right into yours
The cat cleans its paws lookin’ like she laughin’

Chorus: Lonnie Holley
I looked over my shoulder
I looked over my shoulder
I looked over my shoulder
To see
To see
