lyrics
I've got a friend named Billy
He walks to school
Every morning and every afternoon
He stops at the market
For something to eat
Then he goes to the corner store, buys a couple spliff wraps
Then to the park for some weed
My friend named Billy
Well he's been waiting for me
He jumps down the sidewalks
Taking full strides
My man Billy used to bore us but now he doesn't even question why
He was self-raised in a jail house
Head hanging down
The only peace and salvation was the thought of leaving town
And if my friend Billy could
Well he would skip right out of town
Billy run away now
Ten years would pass him
Ten people he'd meet
Oh ten story's he'd want to jump from
But instead he'd land on his feet
Now if you haven't noticed my friend named Billy is me
