I was always told that you had to have the balls to breakdown
Now I'm older I'm not too sure
I was once told that you had to have a high to lowdown
An expert told me back in the war

Open hearted surgery never works
So eat your words or hide them in the dirt

Raise up the anchor baby, why do we have to get way down?
Way down
Raise up the anchor baby, why do we have to get way down?

Way down
Raise up the anchor baby, why do we have to get way down?

'Cause I don't need nobody to know me
I don't want nobody to know
I don't see nobody to show me
