Of Mice and Men
(I do not own the beat)
Lyrics:
1st:Do you know how successful I could be
All the places I could see
Have a job
And my own place
Have myself a girl
See her pretty face
But nah I would never leave you
Promised your Aunt I'd take care of you
All the things we've gone through
Struggling out here, eating our beans
It's the best we can do living by our means
If we had any ketchup of course I'd give it all to you
We'll have a ranch one day
And you can tend the rabbits too
All different colors
Red, green, and blue
When we see the boss,
Don't say nothing
Don't look at Curley
And don't look at his wife
Just mind your own business
We just do our work
I'll try to get Slim to give you a puppy
A white one too
Be careful with it
Because you don't know what you're capable to do
I'm going into town I'll be back soon
Do you know how successful I could be
All the places I could see
Have a job
And my own place
Have myself a girl
See her pretty face
But nah I would never leave you
2nd:
Tell me George, tell me how it's gonna be...
Are gonna live on the fatta the land with colorful rabbits and beautiful trees?
I wanna tend the rabbits, I wanna tend the rabbits
I wanna hug their furry coats I wanna hug their furry jackets
I love em George I love em... Anything that's soft really that's what catches my charm
But I'm too strong I never mean no harm I never mean no harm I never mean it I never mean it
I don't want em to die I love em so much
Why they gotta leave me George, why can't they be like you?
You always by my side and the problems we face you always lead me through
You'll never leave me no matter how much better your life and be
We gon live on the fatta the land just you and me...
3rd:
As we go through all the isms man
Why can't you see
All of us are equal
Yeah that means you and me
Ableism, feminism, and racism
Why all the criticism
It not like it's constructive
It's morally destructive
The essence of a human is something to adore
So why discriminate and hate
As humans we should just appreciate
All the beauties in life
Without downs there's no ups
Be grateful for the little things in life like Lennie and his pups
Isms isms isms man what's with all these isms man
Unnecessary criticism what's with wrong our systems man? What's the difference between you and I? All these problems in the world don't try to hide
You and I bleed the same color
We all came from a mother
So we should love one another
Cause in the end we only have each other
So you and I let's rejoice my brother
4th: I didn't mean it I didn't mean it
I was so scared I didn't mean it
Why am I so strong, why does every thing I touch slowly become gone... My mice, puppies and Curley's wife
Why must I live this cold hard life...
Why can't I be normal or something beautiful like a bird in its nest... I can't take it anymore, stop Aunt Clara stop rabbit stop... Stop calling me worthless... I need to get away I need to get away
Hide in the brush is where I lay
Please George come fine me I've killed again
Tell me everything's gonna be alright as we live on the fatta the land
5th:
Man I can't believe what Lennie's done
I know he didn't mean no harm
Now they're all after him
There goes the dream of our own farm
Hopefully they'll take it easy
Just put him in prison or something
But I guess that won't happen
They want to put his life to an end
I went with them to go look
Wen I approached him my legs shook
Lennie don't you turn around
Don't you look at me
We'll have our ranch in the future
Full of rabbits can't you see
They're coming over now
Time is running out
I wish there was another way
So I could've seen him one more day
But this is the best way to go
Put the barrel behind his head
I had to pull the trigger and let him go
Now heavens got another angel
One that'll do work and be faithful
Always have a place in my heart
I would never leave you
