I remember atlanta; i coulda been a big deal. coulda been a top
Pick, but i threw out my arm, so i went into steel. when i

Shit. i remember the weather there - it was like a war zone. i
Fell behind in rent and i bounced some checks, so they kicked me out.

Did i tell you about how i threw out my arm? i remember
Atlanta. i coulda been a big deal back in '79.
