lyrics

Once upon a time
I was an uncommon man
Living by a street sign
It said quarter horse drive

And the people in my neighborhood were fearful
That blacks would come and they would take us as victims
You made sure to lock your doors
'Cuz the crack baby Jesus was just an inch away

We had nothing
we lived as kings in a gilded zoo

And we lived in a shelter
We feared people from the grave yard
We had a golden ghetto

There were blue hairs
I wanted blue hair
They called me a weirdo
I called them a norm-y

It was 2001
And you were a cutter
We spent our time thinking
I'd write a movie

We had nothing
we lived as kings in a guilded zoo

They called you Christy
And called me Sissy
I'll never miss those days of old
