6'4" with the guts that could top it
A pair of jeans and a skull ring pocket
Twice the fight of the boys in the projects
Timmy T. had a heart like a rocket

Brother Benny had a qualm with the street gang
Got jumped all alone in the cold rain
Timmy T. handled things in his own way
Put a body in the ground on the next day

Here's your view from the bars learn to like it
Your jumpsuit, keep it clean, we don't wash it
Look at me funny and you'll sleep inside the closet
I'm the boss your the punk try to fight it
Timmy T. took the challenge of the tough guy
Cocked his head to the side said "Me oh my"
Threw a jab to the base of his left eye
And made himself a name on the inside

He said, someone send an angel
I've been livin' in the fire all my days
Someone send an angel
'Cause the devil keeps guidin my ways
Someone send an angel
I got a soul that screams to be saved
But if the world gets easy,
where will that world leave me anyway

Timmy's girl came to visit on the weekends
About a year slipped away she got thinkin'
There are things Timmy T. just ain't givin'
She wrote a letter sent her man off the deep end
Timmy T. went all crazy on the inmates
A couple tears tatted right on his cold face
Solitary was his home for some long days
All alone with his thoughts as his company
Timmy prayed to a God he hadn't met yet
Said I'm weak, takes a lot to admit that
If I surrender will you help me get my life back
And Timmy T. started off on a new track

Someone sent an angel
He'd been livin' in the fire all his days
Someone sent an angel
And the devil stopped guiding his ways
Someone sent an angel
He had a soul that screamed to be saved
See the world ain't easy
But Timmy T. kept breathing anyway

Timmy T. walked the yard in his old age
Saw a boy, reminded him of his old ways
Looked in his eyes, saw the pain comin his way
Said son take a seat ill tell ya somethin
I used to walk around proud just like you do
All I needed was my fist and the wrong dude
That don't last when the world falls around you
The devil's big if you let the devil own you

That day I met my angel
I'd been livin in the fire all my days
That day I met angel
And the devil stopped guiding my ways
That day I met my angel
I had a soul that screamed to be saved
See the world ain't easy
But I'll keep on breathing anyway
