Carter Candlestick Lyrics by Twiddle

Natural Evolution of Consciousness

2010

[Verse 1]
Carter candlestick was born in 1956
In ’65 his mother died and left him on the street
All alone now no food or home now
He had to beg to eat and find a place where he could sleep
And late at night he shut it tight and let his mind go free
No looking back now this is your life now
He met a kid named Dean who taught him almost everything
Like how to steal and get free meals and how to write and read
No school for me now school would be good now
Carter soon could speak the twisted language of the streets
Make a plan rob a stand start off as a thief
12 years old now still doing fine now

[Chorus]
This is the life of carter candlestick
One hell of a thief one hell of a myth
He walked the streets with an amazing gift
To pick the pockets of the greedy rich [X2]

[Verse 2]
In 1973 Carter was the slickest thief
He’d take your money take your pride and all your precious keys
Watch the house now save all the cash now
He’d wait for them to leave than open it up with the keys
Eat some food watch the tube than start to search for things
Jewelries here now here’s a big safe now
He took the goods with speed went out the back and left the keys
Walked down the block right passed a cop and smoked a stog with ease
Walking free now keeping your cool now
By age 23 carter new that he was free
12 grand a week and place to sleep the life he dreamed to lead
No more pain now I run the show now

[Chorus]
This is the life of carter candlestick
One hell of a thief one hell of a myth
He walked the streets with an amazing gift
To pick the pockets of the greedy rich [X2]
