Slippin' Jimmy

I ain't no Slippin' Jimmy ...but they call me that anyway. For the mistakes I made as a stupid kid I'm held accountable today. In the mind of the insane In the rat maze of a brain I'm still the one to blame. Did some bad things ..but never killed a soul Still, I lost control. But I ain't no Slippin' Jimmy! You can call me by my name The one you gave me when you brought me to life, screaming Into your game. If there is no forgiveness, there can be no love And maybe it just isn't worth the trouble, Loving you, but always Slippin' Jimmy Your greatest mistake, Oh fakest of the fake. I'm done.
