Twiddle - Carter Candlestick lyrics

[Verse 1] Carter candlestick was born in 1956 In '65 his mother died and left him on the street All alone now no food or home now He had to beg to eat and find a place where he could sleep And late at night he shut it tight and let his mind go free No looking back now this is your life now He met a kid named Dean who taught him almost everything Like how to steal and get free meals and how to write and read No school for me now school would be good now Carter soon could speak the twisted language of the streets Make a plan rob a stand start off as a thief 12 years old now still doing fine now [Chorus] This is the life of carter candlestick One hell of a thief one hell of a myth He walked the streets with an amazing gift To pick the pockets of the greedy rich [X2] [Verse 2] In 1973 Carter was the slickest thief He'd take your money take your pride and all your precious keys Watch the house now save all the cash now He'd wait for them to leave than open it up with the keys Eat some food watch the tube than start to search for things Jewelries here now here's a big safe now He took the goods with speed went out the back and left the keys Walked down the block right pa**ed a cop and smoked a stog with ease Walking free now keeping your cool now By age 23 carter new that he was free 12 grand a week and place to sleep the life he dreamed to lead No more pain now I run the show now [Chorus] This is the life of carter candlestick One hell of a thief one hell of a myth He walked the streets with an amazing gift To pick the pockets of the greedy rich [X2]
