Lyrics

Sweet, so sweet
Now you do me
Relax, it's just a game
Rules don't apply to you and I
Sweet like a stolen candy (It don't feel right, it ain't me)
[Instrumental]
It ain't right
I know it's wrong, but it feels
Sweet like stolen candy
What's wrong with me?
[Instrumental]
Tears from a walled-off place from another time
From a boy who couldn't cry
Shame held down so long
But betrayal doesn't die
It's scratching to get up
Churning, boiling to get out
Now here it is, now here they are
Tears of anger and revenge
And someone must die
Bullets, blood, and death
Bullets, blood, and death
I was seven years old
The shapes that haunt my nights
Asking, "What's going on, boy?"
And the boy doesn't cry
Bullets, blood, and death
Bullets, blood, and death
Chester
Sweet, so sweet, like stolen candy
Sweeter than the finest wine
The softest lover's touch
Reason is no use to us
Justice is but a fairy tale
To make the the children good
Destiny writes the end
He has to bleed, he has to die
There is no escape
You may as well embrace your destiny
Written by: Terence Blanchard
