- Honky's Ladder Lyrics / with translationsGot you where I want you motherf*cker
I got five up on your dime
And if you wanna peep on something
Peep what I got stuck between your eyes
And since I don't believe a word you say
Save it for another, baby brother
Swallow time to pay
Up on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have to climb
To touch the light
But wait 'til I get done with you
If you tell me
"Don't get mixed up with the Devil"
That's exactly what I'm gonna do
Caught you while you waited
For your boy to come and fix you up again
Come a little closer, baby
I only wanna try to be your friend
Since I ain't got nothing left to lose
Got you where I want you, motherf*cker
Don't you try to move
Up on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have to climb
To touch the light
Won't you take me up there with you?
You said you would
No one ever could shake
That ladder, baby like I could
So I wait
And I wait
And I wait
And I wait
Up on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have to climb
To touch the light
Won't you take me up there with you?
You said you would
No one ever could shake
That ladder, baby like I could
Like I could, like I could
I got five up on your dime
And if you wanna peep on something
Peep what I got stuck between your eyes
And since I don't believe a word you say
Save it for another, baby brother
Swallow time to pay
Up on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have to climb
To touch the light
But wait 'til I get done with you
If you tell me
"Don't get mixed up with the Devil"
That's exactly what I'm gonna do
Caught you while you waited
For your boy to come and fix you up again
Come a little closer, baby
I only wanna try to be your friend
Since I ain't got nothing left to lose
Don't you try to move
Up on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have to climb
To touch the light
Won't you take me up there with you?
You said you would
No one ever could shake
That ladder, baby like I could
So I wait
And I wait
And I wait
And I wait
Up on the ladder they sing
How high?
Does a brother have to climb
To touch the light
Won't you take me up there with you?
You said you would
No one ever could shake
That ladder, baby like I could
Like I could, like I could
