Lyrics for Bushwick Junkie as interpreted by HeathroBonk

Bushwick Junkie Lyrics
I was only making the move
Trying very hard to get back to you
I was only chilling in style
Make a move to kill in an awful while

I was only trying to get by
I was only trying to get high

I was only acting the part
If the rest don't take a part of it
I was only breaking my back a while
To making money to be a cat a while

I was only trying to get high
I was only trying to get high
Before the sunrise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise

I was only trying to get high
I was only trying to get high
I was only trying to get high
It said
I was only trying to get high
Before the sunrise at the dawn

This is one of those songs where I think that if I had written it and shared it with friends, I would seem either deaf or just an embarrassing excuse for a musician. Because Sufjan wrote it though, I can hear through the apparent ugliness of the whole thing and realize that only a talented musician could have written such an unpleasant piece of music. In the most encouraging way towards Sufjan ever, I couldn't have written a song this bad, for I'm not that good of a musician. Woof.

Bushwick is a poor neighborhood in Brooklyn.
Perhaps the words of a junkie from the area.
It is interesting to note: the song progresses like a drug addiction. Starting out at just "chilling in style" and just "acting the part" and only temporary but then degressing to repeated distorted "I was only trying to get high"
