From the recording PRIDE

Sometimes a song just pushes its way into the world, like this one did. A dark of the night song.

Lyrics

I was walkin' alongmindin' my affairs
When sump'n jumped out and slapped me in the head
Now I can't walk and I can't breathe
Sump'n got a hold on me
Sump'n got a hold on me
 
My hands are shaky I got sweaty feet
My nails are black and my eyes are green
I got a purple fuzz growin' on my teeth
Sump'n got a hold on me
Sump'n got a hold on me
 
I got Juju beads i got a black cat's bones
Marie Laveaux lives just next door
I got Hoodoo powder sprinkled on my floor
Sump'n got a hold on me
Sump'n got a hold on me
 
I was walkin' along mindin' my affairs
When sump'n jumped out and slapped me in the head
Now I can't walk and I can't breathe
Sump'n got a hold on me
Sump'n got a hold on me
