My woman broke my heart and freed my mind
She made my seven seem like a dime
What she did to me should be a crime
She'll be sorry a long, long time.

I have my freedom and no where to go
The hawk is kickin and I'm a walkin
Nothing behind and only a bus stop ahead
Money in hand and Kansas City in mind.

Riding on that bus heading west
Be in Kansas City before sunset
Start all over and do a grand
Back in Kansas City once again.

Money and women will be my game
A new house and car will be my aim
Hundred dollar shoes and diamonds on my fingers
Once again, I'm a cool super fly young nigger.

I'm what every young woman dreams about
What every old woman hopes for
And what every young man wants to be
What every old man whishes he had been.

My woman broke my heart and freed my mind
She mad my seven seem like a dime
What she did to me should be a crime
She'll be sorry a long, long time.
