Lyrics Tempted - Kero One
The
phone
rings,
it's
a
quarter
to
9
I'm
slippin'
on
some
fresh
kicks
and
jacket
with
matching
lining
My
boys
on
the
line
and
announcing
the
time
and
How
I
need
to
hurry
cause
its
bout
to
be
live
man
A
parties
jumping
off
Dj's
bringin
beats
My
boys
bringing
his
girl,
the
one
he
met
last
week
Mad
geeked
he
says
peace
and
ends
the
conversation
with
that
Not
sure
what
to
expect,
but
that's
the
beauty
perhaps
So
I
rush
out
of
my
crib
followed
by
the
door
Meet
up,
get
to
the
club,
make
my
way
to
the
floor
I'm
seeing
girls
showing
flesh,
dancing
shoes
in
full
effect
My
boys
in
the
vicinity
his
girls
to
his
left
Rubbing
her
bootie
on
me,
when
his
heads
turned
right
Yo
a
cutie
indeed,
damn,
but
something
ain't
right
So
I
ignore
her
gestures,
and
proceed
with
my
business
Just
enjoying
music
and
some
physical
fitness
And
when
the
nights
over
yo
we're
back
at
my
boys
crib
He
dips
to
the
store,
so
I'm
alone
with
his
mistress
She
sits
at
a
distance
but
what
is
this?
She's
throwing
charm
like
javelins
traveling
within
inches
I
duck
and
dodge
but
now
her
hands
on
my
leg
Damn
she's
creeping
towards
red
I
hold
my
head
and
beg?
Father,
don't
let
me
be
tempted,
Cause
I
been
that
route
Sayin
father
don't
let
me
be
tempted
Cause
I
been
there
before
Father,
don't
let
me
be
tempted,
Cause
I
been
that
route
Sayin
father
don't
let
me
be
tempted
And
after
nights
like
that,
I'm
dead
tired
at
work
Behind
on
deadlines
and
a
boss
that's
a
jerk
2 years
under
my
belt,
sitting
here,
what's
the
worth?
Staring
at
a
screen
until
my
vision
is
blurred
Word,
I'm
trying
to
get
by,
cause
I
must
survive
Living
for
measly
checks
till
the
day
that
I
die?
Never
that,
settle
that
I
hear
a
voice
in
my
head
sing
Just
then
I
see
a
pen
and
timecard
for
weeks
ending
Yeah
I
worked
plenty,
but
the
question
is
when
I
can
say
I
worked
20
when
I
only
did
10
And
pretend,
cause
with
the
extra
ends
there's
plenty
to
spend
on
Or
if
accounts
in
the
red,
its
what
I'll
depend
on
Once
the
rents
gone,
and
its
due
real
soon
So
I'm
convincing
myself,
my
lies
could
be
true
And
its
funny,
how
money
can
change
your
thinking
Like
a
boat
that
floats
false
hope
when
your
sinking
I'm
flinching
I
pause
with
a
pen
in
my
palm
I
see
two
doors
so
to
my
lord
I
sing
this
song...
Father,
don't
let
me
be
tempted,
Cause
I
been
that
route
Sayin
father
don't
let
me
be
tempted
Cause
I
been
there
before
Father,
don't
let
me
be
tempted,
Cause
I
been
that
route
Sayin
father
don't
let
me
be
tempted
I'm
saying,
twist
ya
thinking
caps
to
the
side
I'm
saying
one
time
for
your
mind
one
time
I'm
like
walking
the
ave
on
a
hot
ass
day
Just
got
off
that
job
with
that
modest
pay
But
yo
I'm
on
my
way
hold
up
on
my
way
Banks
close
at
6 and
cash
is
calling
my
name
So
as
I
rush
the
door
I
brush
shoulders
with
this
stranger
Who
gets
angered,
throwing
curses
my
way
Straight
disturbed
but
I
say'
sorry
man'
and
keep
walking
But
he
keeps
talking
shouting'
chink!'
from
his
coffin
Often
that
words
left
herbs
bloody
like
tampons
The
setting'
s
ironic
cause
someone's
bout
to
get
banked
on
I'm
amped
son,
blood
is
pumping
through
veins
I'm
making
knuckle
sandwiches
and
lunch
is
on
me
now
I
know
with
every
pickle
there's
a
way
out
Just
brush
my
shoulders
off
and
go
with
the
safe
route
But
this
time
it's
different,
or
is
it'I
play
out
These
thoughts
in
my
mind,
then
from
my
mouth
I
sang
out?
