We Tried to Do a Rap Metal Song Just to Cover All Our Bases lyrics by The Tommy Lasorda Experience

In my mid-20’s, I became good friends with a gang member named José
I didn’t believe any of his claims at the time
About being up there in the gang I won’t mention
About the attempts that had been made on his life
About the things he had done to other people
It sounded like self-aggrandizing bullshit

Later on, I had good cause to believe all of it
All of it

He had tattoos that looked kinda suspicious
We’d be in Jackson Heights and people gave him a wide berth
He drove like an absolute maniac
Drunk and swerving, doing 90 on the B.Q.E

He worked at the plan desk at my office
He’d deliver blueprints and stuff all over the city
I assume this was kind of like a cover job
Because he always seemed to have a good amount of cash

He had tattoos that looked kinda suspicious
We’d be in Jackson Heights and people gave him a wide berth
He drove like an absolute maniac
Drunk and swerving, doing 90 on the B.Q.E

Then one day José was gone
Just disappeared
Maybe dead. Maybe on the run
I heard rumors, but I never saw him again
