I wasn't going to say it
ain't proud that the day and time has come to fruition
spending sprees and credit purchases
yesterday
but the bill came in the mail
today
and collections department is demanding immediate payment

I ain't the one to rub it in your face
but I seen this coming from way back when
you ignored the signs and wonders 
the laying on of hands didn't work
the holy ghost called you several times
but your heart was in non vibrate 
silent mode 

I ain't gonna bask in the glow of
..there
almost said it
and I promised I wouldn't point my finger
dance in delight around your maypole
'cause mine is tied right next to yours
and I heeded the warnings

I built my house with bricks and stone
looking out at the neighborhood 
homes and lives constructed of sticks and paper mache promises
still
even so
the big bad wolf huffed
and puffed
and blew my house down too

I ain't kicking nobody when they is down
they always say it also coulda been me
but I read the tea leaves
heard the speeches
watched the riots
saw the results
the same as you

and I ain't got no cause or right to say to you
what I ain't gonna say
but 
you know what I'm thinkin
so 
I'll leave it at that
