Lyrics

[Intro]
Clean heart
Clean and sharp
Clean dream
Bad start
[Verse 1]
He loved his brother and his sister
Luke and Tony called him mister
They made him feel much more like a man
He loved his daddy, though he never told him
And how he loved his mama
He loved, he loved her like
Like an Italian
[Verse 2]
Little Janet said, "You look so fine, so fine"
But something in his smile made them feel like strangers
And then he straightened his belt with a lover's touch
And he said, "I'm gonna bring home the things
That are out of your clutch"
[Bridge]
Seemed like the hottest night in summer
A heat that makes you feel like dying
Somewhere in the next block
There was a baby crying
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
[Verse 3]
And as the moon slid up over the restless streets
Sirens mockin', people stop to see
Ooh, their greedy eyes don't realize he's someone's son
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
