It's the Jones You Owns
Words, Music by Jeff Lehman
Why with the gun you're toting do you look so meek
Why with the strong hand you're showing do you look so weak
Why with that stuff you're smoking are you down so low
And with that fast car you're driving you've got nowhere to go
You know the views not the same from here
You haven't run far enough from the fear that's inside you
Holding on to bind you
chorus-'cuz it's the jones you owns that you feel
is shielding you from the rain
But that medicine that you crave
Is shaking hands with your grave
Why with that home on the hillside you've got nowhere to stay
And with that cash that you're making you're still too broke to pay
Why with that flashy new hair style do you still look the same
And with those harsh words you're using you've got nothing to say
you know the scene hasn't changed a dime
You only move back the hands of time inside you
Holding on to bind you
(chorus)
Why don't you see the dope that you need is in your soul
Waiting to grow higher and higher
Why with those fake friends you're seen with do you seem all alone
And with that jones your taking your chances are blown
adlib and fade
