Lyrics
Yeah, I've been drug through the mud so much
The taste of death to me is better than blood
And I'm covered in scars, some days I'm tired
But for openin' the eyes of the blind, I'm always
If I did it for the money, I'd have never got paid
I did it for the love of the game, ayy
I ain't tryna hear a fuckin' word that you sayin'
Me and you are not the same
I ain't take the fast route, y'all passed out
I'm out here workin' my ass off
You ain't got no cash now, y'all assed out
Shit, look at how fast I passed y'all
Goin' hard on the paint, man, it's hard to be great
Hittin' y'all long-range like Harden today
Workin' like a dog like I'm still starvin' today
What I got's great, but I still want y'all's plate
Take every scrap 'til the last one's gone
What you thought, this is just another country rap song?
You wrong, these white boys rappin'
They talk shit, we the last ones laughin'
To the bank, to the gun store
Stackin' up ammo so they can run more
Pick 'em off like flies sittin' on the front porch
I'm just havin' fun, what the fuck you want, war?
Call the cavalry, don't be mad at me
What I make in a week is your fuckin' salary
Who wanna battle me? Bunch of casualties
When I'm all done, who gon' have a bigger bag than me?
Yeah, I've been drug through the mud so much
The taste of death to me is better than blood
And I'm covered in scars, some days I'm tired
But for openin' the eyes of the blind, I'm always
Wire
I'm always
Wire
I'm always
Came through the flame, burned feet and some bloodstains
Take aim, kick ass, never take names
Threw the bait in the water and I hook fame
In the mirror lookin' back, it didn't look the same
All the money I attain, pain still remain
I'm detained in the game, had to break chains
Champagne, cocaine, with my soul's propane
Lit a flame, couldn't see it when the smoke came
Blinded by the bright lights in the crowd fight nightlife
Knock me on my ass, nighty-night-night
Off the street, feel defeat, had to stand up
Got boys I gotta raise, I better man up
Can't take what they hand us and settle for it
Loyalty's law, you're never gon' get a medal for it
Take me back to the '90s in a teleport
'88 In a DeLorean with the pedal floored
I was born to be a king, hold a heavy sword
No choice, hear the voice said I'm ready for it
Truth is hard to swallow, chokin' on my vocal cords
If I'm livin' just to work, what am I workin' for?
If it's all for the money, rather die poor
Call it quits, hang me up by my mic cord
If I sold my soul, probably get to buy more
Tell the labels I refuse to pay the price for it
Yeah, I've been drug through the mud so much
The taste of death to me is better than blood
And I'm covered in scars, some days I'm tired
But for openin' the eyes of the blind, I'm always
Wire
I'm always
Wire
I'm always
