Lyrics

Yeah...
They made me this way...
Ruffian...
I was quiet in the cradle, now I roar like thunder
They laughed at the boy, now they fear the monster
They threw stones when I had no name
Now I’m RUFFIAN, born from pain
I ain’t ask for war, but they gave me battles
Now I ride alone, no horse, no saddle
They called me weak, called me strange
I grew up in silence, locked in chains
A kid from the gutter, no shoes, no light
But I held my ground every cold dark night
Mama cried, papa ain't home
I learned the streets where right feels wrong
No friends, just fists, no hugs, just scars
Dreams got robbed, so I spit these bars
Teacher said I’d be nothin’ but trouble
Now they see me rise through fire and rubble
I was quiet in the cradle, now I roar like thunder
They laughed at the boy, now they fear the monster
They threw stones when I had no name
Now I’m RUFFIAN, born from pain
I ain’t ask for war, but they gave me battles
Now I ride alone, no horse, no saddle
I used to beg for peace, now I aim for the crown
They mocked my pain, tried to break me down
Molested by fate, bullied by peers
I swallowed rage, now I bleed through years
Ain’t no hugs in the hood, just cold looks
So I write my story in these rhyme books
Ruffian by name, but I ain’t no joke
I’m the smoke from a life they tried to choke
Turned pain into power, scars into steel
Now the monster talks and the whole world feels
He was just a boy with a dream so small
But the world kicked him till he built a wall
Now he walks alone, with eyes like fire
Ruffian’s name, but born from the choir
I was quiet in the cradle, now I roar like thunder
They laughed at the boy, now they fear the monster
They threw stones when I had no name
Now I’m RUFFIAN, born from pain
I ain’t ask for war, but they gave me battles
Now I ride alone, no horse, no saddle
