I've never screwed anyone that didn't f*** 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 c*** 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
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 c*** 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
