Lyrics
You come in handy, so handy
you come in handy, even when I frown
you come in handy, so handy
you wait, I'm coming down
Deprivation, innercity frustrations
look at their hands as they seek for donation
european to asian, mixed with caucasian
negroes with egos ain't takin' humiliation
I got a fistful, wish I had this till the end of the world
knocks on doors, collect big bills
know that the road is steep, no way you gonna sleep
creepin' 'n crawlin', fallin' on the big antheap
I pay the taxman, make life more complex man
go suffice some needs
where it bleeds it lacks man
some human interest I guess,
where's that manifest that the profit,
the unfit, but the lie never rest
servants plus clergymen, politician,
businessman gonna make money honey
with oxygen in spray cans
I stand in open field, words will never shield
the feel that some big men get it all 'n never yield up
and they never yield up
Eyes from right to left, watch out for backstab,
these souls have roles to blind you from all facts
you wanna sidestep, bypass
or neglect authority is the one with big gut in big chest
see how they start to grin 'n laughter becomes a sin,
big men so little but that's how they always win
attack will be just a pinch, use that common sense
block a machine, use elements within to bend
let me all put this straight, I'm here to infiltrate
play like furniture, I wait
blendin' with all the others, where talk turns to fodder
clockin' for those, the ones who hold the rudder
but life's a mistress, never know what lasts
sour grapes are sweet, when it's easy to let them pass
lickin' some heels above,
no matter how hard tough
let the man gloat pride you swallow up
pride you swallow up
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official URBAN DANCE SQUAD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
