[Chorus: Bobby Bland "Blind Man" sample] Blind man... standing on the corner... Blind man... standing on the corner... [Trife Diesel] Yo, the blind man on the corner that was begging for change He passed away to cancer and his lungs spread to his brain He saw the world through his dark optics, studied Allah's knowledge Even though he got high off his narcotics Canteen full of booze, stay drunk off the cheap Vodka In his hey day I heard he was a live heat popper Valentine's meat chopper, created a street opera Back in 1983, he had the police popped up His rep was legendary, old school like bread and jelly In the course of an hour, he robbed like seven deli's It's a lift, but some people said he was rich And in one of these dirt fields is where he buried his chicks Nobody knew he was sick, we just thought he was a schiz' Especially, we he stripped and showed shorty his dick To the old heads who stood on the block, the hood'll miss you Only til the next blind man take over ya spot [Chorus 2X: Bobby Bland "Blind Man" sample (Trife Diesel)] Blind man... standing on the corner... (Standing on the corner, joking with the shorties Telling 'em hood stories, now he's a goner) [Trife Diesel] Some of the greatest entertainers were blind in our times Plus they had to grind harder in order for them to shine Look at Ray Charles, he was one of the illest musicians He taught himself how to play the piano, with his condition Even though he had millions, he also had an addiction When he was high, he wrote his best music, in my opinion Numerous awards, number one hits on the billboard Now hip hop artists, sample his music when they record There was others like Willie McTell and Stevie Wonder Eddie Lang, the first blind white man to do his numbers Willie Johnson, the great Art Tatum and Sonny Terry Were the first pioneers, who influenced the blues heavy Just imagine, plucking them strings, beating with your hands Touring the land, without never seeing ya fans That's a gift from God, that we may never just understand How a blind man became a composer, and lead the band [Chorus 2X: Bobby Bland "Blind Man" sample (Trife Diesel)] Blind man... standing on the corner... (Standing on the corner, whoever knew That one day, that you would blow up and be a performer)
