Lyrics

Talent

I met this real cool dude today Looking like Jack Palance He said I wanna get through to you And help you find your talent He said that if I had a certain style Then stuff would start to happen He said that soon he was going away 'Cause he's a major talent Talent - fighting on the Eastside Talent - taking on the Westside Talent - fucking up the Northside He's a major talent Talent - fighting on the Eastside Talent - taking on the Westside Talent - fucking up the Northside He's a major talent I don't know I said that he was getting through to me And I would take his challenge And maybe soon I'd be going away 'Cause I had certain talents Talent - fighting on the Eastside Talent - taking on the Westside Talent - fucking up the Northside I'm a major talent Talent - fighting on the Eastside Talent - taking on the Westside Talent - fucking up the Northside I met this dude today Down in the sewers of Paris Was hiding from the sun What a waste of talent
