Fred Sanford Songtext
von Marlowe

This could be the one, get the job done, don′t pick the wrong one
Meant to ball some but spent my small sum
Sit with my drum and hit like Paul Bun, keep mitts off my funds


I been makin change like it's automatic
You know living better than my father managed
Hit the ground boarded for another passage
You can read that in my bio-autographic
All they said was problematic, I don′t know where I landed
All I've been is level-headed, that's how I skip the panic
Never get it how I plan it, I might just up and vanish
I don′t need to understand it leave that for you to manage
Hold the presses, roll a second
Keep the game close to my heart, my precious
Overtime, tend to get overzealous
When the moment′s mine, I'm gonna oversell it
Pass that dough to me, gave that flow for free
Strangers pray for me, gave me rosary
Others approaching me like, "Where you ′posed to be?
Who paved that road for me?
Just wait an' see

This could be the one, don′t pick the wrong one
I meant to ball some but spent my small sum
This could be the one, don't pick the wrong one
I sit with my drum and hit like Paul Bun
This could be the one, don′t pick the wrong one
I meant to ball some but spent my small sum
This could be the one, don't pick the wrong one
I sit with my drum and hit like Paul Bun
This could be the one
This could be the one
This could be the one though


I been tryna change how the plot was written
You know, tryna change where my mama livin'
Bring a little shame to the opposition
Just how the life is tinted, wait till they document it
Watch and listen, stop your lippin′
I′ma need for you to pitch in,
I just want some new beginnings, I don't buy that ish they shippin′
I done heard my share of pitches, leave that for you to listen
I done had my share of business leave that for you to mention
Hold the presses, roll a second
Keep the game close to my heart, my precious
Overtime, tend to get overzealous
When the moments mine, I'm gonna oversell it
Pass that dough to me, gave that flow for free
Strangers pray for me, gave me rosary
Others approaching me like, "Where you ′posed to be?
Who paved that road for me?
Just wait an' see

This could be the one, don′t pick the wrong one
I meant to ball some but spent my small sum
This could be the one, don't pick the wrong one
I sit with my drum and hit like Paul Bun
This could be the one, don't pick the wrong one
I meant to ball some but spent my small sum
This could be the one, don′t pick the wrong one
I sit with my drum and hit like Paul Bun
This could be the one
This could be the one

Underjoyed and overboard it takes me
But I still won′t let these dreams escape me
Underjoyed and overboard it takes me
