Lyrics

Strike 3 (And I'm Out)

...Listen to me. i'm gonna make you as comfortable as i can, but you ain't gonna be totally comfortable... so, get hip to that already... in other words, i'm sure it's gonna be cool and i'll work with you, so don't get frustrated by nothin'... i'll work with you on this level, so right now let me just run the track... (just listen to the track, ok?) x 2 ...man, can you run that track for me?
