	Story Behind the Song This is a song about my life growing up in Chattanooga, Tennessee in the late 80's to Mid 90's. This is a song about change, and growth Lyrics A lady in passing scurrying by I say how are you there is no reply But she stares and she wonders Then turns and sighs That just the way of this place! So I think of a question to ask her tonight Is my face really scary is my skin black as night Is your heart filled with caution Is your soul full of spite That just the way of this place! Malcolm is riding on the boulevard He's got Becky Sue Carol in the front of his car They get a couple of stares as they pass by Soon cops put an end to they're night! So they ask him some questions And they call him a lie How much are you paying her to do you tonight She got all the money so they take'em to jail That's just the way of this place! So I think of a question to ask you tonight Is my face really scary Is my skin black as night Is your heart filled with caution Is your soul full of spite That's just the way of this place! So, I'm sittin' on a bench when Malcolm walks by He looks at my hat and notices my style He shakes his head and gives me a sigh But that's just the way of this place! That's just the way of this place! So I think of a question To ask you tonight Where is the passion that fills you with life Is your heart filled with caution Is your soul full of spite We'd better start changing this place So where is the passion that fills you with life Is your heart filled with caution Is your soul full of spite Can you answer these questions you've heard here tonight We'd better start changing this place! We'd better start changing this place!
