Keep it under your hat

I ll tell you a secret
but keep it under your hat:
Two s a crowd when you re
born to slip through the cracks.

The first decades of life
rained on my hide
and cured me from lies.
Then, ever after,
spoke through my caster
and pushed misfortune aside.

I ll tell you a secret
but keep it under your hat:
It ain t worth facin a day
when you re livin like that.
