lyrics

The big three blessed the big three and he blessed me
Stamping sacred hearts in car parts and typewriter keys
I was plucked from PE
Bathed in Portuguese porch days with Inez
State Fair and Greeley
Had the robe with Mr. T on it
I had the slippers too
And I was stamping stamping before I even knew I knew
That thin lady begging Mom to let her use our phone
Had stole the clock off the kitchen wall
We were hiding in the bathtub prayers up
I made a shield with the lid to a McDonald's cup
Windmills in the Dalmatian jar
Is still up above the cabinet door
Toothpicks snappin' in a napkin when he crashed the car
But I ain't have a scratch on me

The big three blessed the big three and he blessed me
And he was stamping
The big three blessed the big three and he blessed me

William got cut down 'fore he finished high school
We went to visit when I finished high school
Time flies it's always too soon
His mom still kept all his trophies in the living room
Now I'm the same age as that publish date
Always trying to find a new way to turn the page
But I'm never quite sure just what to do
Stamping Out Murder part two

The big three blessed the big three and he blessed me
I guess we'll keep on stamping
The big three blessed the big three and he blessed me
I guess we'll keep on stamping
The big three blessed the big three and he blessed me
I guess we'll keep on stamping
The big three blessed the big three and he blessed me
I guess we'll keep on stamping
