French Honey

Burning up the candle, from the lack of oxygen Is it more than you can handle, there's no way that we can win No way we can win Thursday night and it's gridlock, running on this hamster wheel think it's 'bout time for a pitstop Pulled up the to the quick stop to cop me a six-pack, then I saw a snack to make a brotha forget that uh Closed the fridge now I'm stalling the glance at a pack of honey gum-drops imported from France Tried one and I was caught in a trance, doesn't matter that the cashier tried to warn my ass in advance Said "That, french honey warps your mind" Said "That honey gonna hit you in your pocket so you cant spot a dime" Said "That honey gonna pull your card" "Honey jealous, even think of other snacks honey keyin' your car!" "Honey sweet, but it can be a drag" I said "Shut the hell up, take my money put my things in the bag" Hopped in the car and dashed in the night, too naive to realize how that honey tried to ruin my life Take the photo off the mantel, take a swig and take a spin 'Cause you know it's warped and mangled, you're the cushion I'm the pin And I just take it on the chin Several months pass and honey's pressin' me, thinkin that I need to invest in other recipes I play it cool but Honey's got the best of me, day in day out Honey's testin' me I came home late working OT, walked through the door and Honey's spazzin OD Sayin "Baby boy you don't know me!" I felt it was best to back away slowly When dealing with beasts stay low and don't show teeth But before I knew the scene was lit, tried to bounce but too late, things got thick Sweet turned to sour no chicken, no wings, no ribs I thought I saw police outside I closed the blinds turned to honey said "You must be high, been trippin all year!" Honey said "That's not police that's immigration" What? How'd she get me deported when I was born here? I just take it on the chin Throw it all away in the dustbin Made of molten metal a heart of tin Burning down the candle, low oxygen
