The Kid

Growing up, black and blue, that shit eats away at you
Beat up when I go to school, beat up by my father too
Livin' life in a haze, dug myself a shallow grave
Probation on Saturday's, can't look in my mother's face
Sellin' drugs on the street, won't give no apologies
'Cause I am what the universe made me

Take a step back and put your hands up, don't do anything stupid
Gimme that cash, fill the bag up 'cause nothin's gon' stop this kid
No nothin's gon' stop this kid, no nothin's gon' stop this kid
No nothin's gon' stop this kid, no nothin's gon' stop this kid

Drinkin' slow, dyin' fast, fill me up another glass
Gotta make it outta here, can't become my biggest fear
Spendin' nights in a cell, built my own version of hell
No one comes to bail me out, better shut your f**kin' mouth
Livin' low, gettin' high, watch my crooked soul die
I do what I gotta do to get by

Take a step back and put your hands in, don't do anything stupid
Gimme that cash, fill the bag up 'cause nothin's gon' stop this kid
No nothin's gon' stop this kid, no nothin's gon' stop this kid
No nothin's gon' stop this kid, no nothin's gon' stop this kid

How did I get to be (so low)
How did I get to be
So low
Fallin' 'part at the seams, feelin' my ugly veins bleed
I am what this crooked world made me

Take a step back and put your hands up, don't do anything stupid
Gimme that cash, fill the bag up 'cause nothin's gon' stop this kid
No nothin's gon' stop this kid, no nothin's gon' stop this kid
No nothin's gon' stop this kid, no nothin's gon' stop this kid
