it was weird, dodo bird.

You're the dodo bird.

Yeah?

Oh, no.

MJ's driving?

Sure is. But you watch

that lead foot, all right?

You got precious cargo back here.

Yes, ma'am.

Don't make me regret this.

Okay, so you put your

foot on the brake.

I know.

Okay, put your foot on the brake.

Give it a little bit

of gas, though.

Okay. Okay, it's on the brake.

Come on.

Whoo!

It ain't no joke

This time

We pull the perfect crime

And now it's written

On every sign

She's starving all her life

Well, I'd say

without even trying

Everything's going

to be all right

Everything's going

to be all right now

Being a mom

the only...

the only thing that a

mother thinks about

is taking care of her

children, no matter what.

And I think a lot of the drug stuff

where all the women are in jail,

I think that's a big part

of just trying to take care

of your family, you know?

If you can't get any

government help

or you can't find a job,

then you resort to other things.

That's the way it is.

You do what you got

to do, you know,

to take care of your

kids and your family.

And that's what I did.

To sail the sea

Is what I dream about

To ride the waves

When I am setting out

Oh, happy day

When I sail the waves

Oh, what I long

The mighty ocean wide

To let me roam

Into the other side

You'll never know

Just how far I'll go

To sail the sea

It's all I think about

For one more day

I cannot go without

I cannot stay

I must sail away

And as I roll into the ocean

How happy I will be

Goodbye, land-loving strangers

Please say a prayer for me

I'll steer the ship

Through darkened seas at night

And use the stars

To guide my journey bright

Oh, what a sight

When I sail away

High winds and waves

This is a deadly ride

How can it be

That this is how I die?

Who cried for me

When I'm going insane?

A sinking ship

Out on the ocean blue

It seems as if

My sailing days are through

I'll know my drift

It's so sad, but true

Maybe the tide

Will bring me back someday

I guess for now

The sea will be my grave

For I must brave

When I sail away

And as I sink into the ocean

On a ship that's lost at sea

Goodbye, land-loving strangers

Don't shed a tear for me
