All I Have Done

Written by Douglas Firestein

Sitting on the roof of my car
Taking in a long smoke break
I watch the youngsters drive by
The absence of fear on their face

I once ruled this skeezy town
But progress cleaned up the streets
I guess a man with my fighting skills
Is no longer what this place needs

Baby, i’m just a shadow
Casting dark light into the sun
Trying to make my way back
From a situation i cant overcome

Nobody answers my calls
Or sits next to me on the bus
How have they forgotten all
That I have done?

Filling another tank of gas
For a car that belongs to the bank
I often sit and wonder why
I know longer catch any breaks

My skin is the same shade of brown
But these suckas don’t respect me
If ten years ago they were around
They’d be the ones who need protecting

Baby, i’m just a shadow
Casting dark light into the sun
Trying to make my way back
From a situation i cant overcome

Nobody answers my calls
Or sits next to me on the bus
How have they forgotten all
That I have done?

Take a minute or two
To throw this man a dime
Cos I used to maintain the balance
Between the good and bad crime

My name was on the lips
Of every sucka in town
Cos they were scared when they heard
That Firestein was around

Baby, i’m just a shadow
Casting dark light into the sun
Trying to make my way back
From a situation i cant overcome

Nobody answers my calls
Or sits next to me on the bus
How have they forgotten all
That I have done?
