Reggie's Plateau
No kinder soul
Did i ever know
Or would have sought to trouble
Had i somewhere else to go
You are charity, charity to me
You are blessed with charity
Trustful friend, when i’m in need again
Self sufficient working mentor
As sweet as the word please
These streets are rugged
And have tolled me back to you again
I have nothing, nothing have i lost
But my pride, and now that is yours.
Set me on your couch, so warm and soft
My feet will stand again, when they can or must
Till then could you open up
A can of beans, and a nice cold beer
Oh, but the world is cold too
Buddy, i’ll drink to you
And your warm heart that houses me
From vagrancy. i decree
I’ll protect you from anybody but the police
Yeah! i’ll do anything to you…
Wait! no! i mean
I’ll do anything for you not anything to you
So don’t bring up the past, unless it’s for laughs
Didn’t i teach you not to hold grudges
I was on a different plateau
You are just too decent, you would never know
Some bad men from down south
Were trying to take me out
For what they say i owe them
And i know you are more forgiving
Hey, i was on a different plateau
You would never understand
You always said yes, you just give and give
You never ask
And would you have caught on any other way
Yeah things could have gotten worst
Had i not gotten to you first
Man, these streets are for rodents
And i even owe them
But my gratitude is always with you
I’ll never take offence
To your hesitance
Hey, i was on a different plateau
When i stole your collectibles
But i’ll pay you back my friend
Before you stop ageing
You’ll never trust me the same
But you will trust me again
