Surrounded by four walls, they cave in on you
Spend some time with your weakness, but don't let it get the better of you
Watch you fade away
For just one more day
So sick and tired of seeing you, watching you fade
So sick and tired of seeing you, watching you fade
Addiction is yours, poison yourself all alone
Take control of your sickness, don't leave us here on our own
Watch you fade away
For just one more day
So sick and tired of seeing you, watching you fade away
So sick and tired of seeing you, wachhing you fade away
(Yo, yeah sweet, uh... ...which one was it?
Umm... yeah... seven maybe? ...sweet, OK bye)
Don't go, please don't go
I know, you're alone
Don't go, please don't go
Don't go, please don't go...
Won't sit back, relax, no more you make me sick
Watch you rot from the inside out, what is this shit
Don't tell you'll never last with this
Don't sit back relax, you poisonous cyst
Am I, calling ten, what the fuck is this
Did I make this choice, did I do this?
I used to laugh while you would spit
Now your laughter's a fit
Don't go, please don't go
Don't go, please don't go...

Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash
Just who do think I am
You raise my taxes, freeze my wages
And send my son to Vietnam
You give me second class houses
And second class schools
Do you think that alla colored folks
Are just second class fools
Mr. Backlash, I'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues
When I try to find a job
To earn a little cash
All you got to offer
Is your mean old white backlash
But the world is big
Big and bright and round
And it's full of folks like me
Who are black, yellow, beige and brown
Mr. Backlash, I'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues
Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash
Just what do you think I got to lose
I'm gonna leave you
With the backlash blues
You're the one will have the blues
Not me, just wait and see
