Lyrics
Diabetes Blues
R. Mack Harrell
I got them diabetes - diabetes blues
I got them diabetes - diabetes blues
I can't feel my feet or
Tie my shoes.
Garden veggies all I'm sposed to eat
Bloomberg took away my favorite treats
Classic Coke just makes
My blood so sweet.
(interlude)
Get sick- there ain't no docs around
They went broke and shut their clinics down
Workin'hard don't pay this side of town.
These here little blue pills- ease my mind
I don't need a script, street stuff works fine
Percocet just helps me pass the time.
Cause I got the diabetes, diabetes blues
I got diabetes - diabetes blues
I can't feel my feet...
I can't feel my feet...
But I can make ends meet
With my little... diabetes blues
Diabetes Blues.
