Lyrics for I Walk On Gilded Splinters

Some people think they jive me But I know they must be crazy They don't see dey misfortune Or else they just a little too lazy I Walk thru the fire An I Fly thru the smoke I wanna see my enemies At the end of my rope I Walk on pins and needles An I See what they can do I Walk on gilded splinters With the king of the Zulu Singing Come to me giddi come come Walk on gilded splinters Come to me giddi come come Walk on gilded splinters Till I burn up, Till I burn Up, Till I burn up. I'm walking out of my coffin Drink poison in my chalice Pride begins to fade And y'all will feel my malice Put gris gris on your doorstep Soon you'll be in the gutter Looking just like butter A-a-and I can make you stutter I Walk thru the fire An I Fly thru the smoke I wanna see my enemies At the end of my rope I Walk on pins and needles An I See what they can do I Walk on gilded splinters With the king of the Zulu Singing Come to me giddi come come Walk on gilded splinters Come to me giddi come come Walk on gilded splinters Till I burn up, Till I burn Up, Till I burn up.
