The Word

The word is going around
That you have lost your grip
You went and took a gamble
On a game you couldn't handle

The word is going around
The word is going around

But you can't back it up
You said you can shake it
But lately you just fake it

The word is going around
The word is going around

But what could I do?
I told them the truth
But I had to give 'em proof

The word is going around
The word is going around

But who am I to preach?
At first it was a whisper
Till I heard somebody holler

The word is going around
The word is going around

But is it such a crime?
If I wanna cut loose
I don't need no excuse

So the word is going around
The word is going around

But why should I care?

Huh, you always find a sucker
To drag you from the gutter

The word is going around
Yeah, the word's out
