I look in the mirror and think about how it all started Small Alabama, from city life we departed Not a light in the street, morning was scary and dark To a boy catching the bus to school 5:30 sharp I used to up songs to keep my mind from wandering was in the woods waiting for me, my stomach still rumbling From the diet Even though mama was trying to do the best she could Alcohol made her Her boyfriend was a prick, 26 Barely looked my and really didn't do shit My animosity grew along my anger And disastrous school My teachers knew I was waiting And I did too, but I like it Maybe I had to accept I'd always be uninvited to church events, football and oriented stuff But I thought I had it rough I embraced it, honestly, 'cause I knew how I was It made me a rebel and rebels me feel welcomed and loved I knew my daddy but, they said that I was the same and what a shame, get your umbrella Wayne comes the heavy rain
Cause I'm the to your storm Dark bloodstains a dogfight The tornado to your Your after a long night I'm the snake your barn That one mistake you did right The gunpowder to your I'm son The son of a gun Son of a gun Son of a gun Son of a gun
If is but a dream I'm up the creek in a paddle full of snakes, demons, not even a ladder goes Up and over the Mississippi to see the ocean So here I go floatin', But I made it a habit 19 and tattooed, hell-raised in the neighborhood was the place and I made it home with the Quarter pound of that seeded Mexican trash slinging Make enough and then break it even, just do it for Nashville's under icicles, the Methadone's Ecstasy-hungry, as an experimentation No more chocolate-chip cookies, and jars Morbid and dark are my models, and old-school cars Sickening and I'm it I'm in half of it in sinnin' ways, a dagger to pastors I never knew my but, said that I was the same and what a shame Here come the in the heavy rain
I'm the lighting to your storm Dark bloodstains a dogfight The tornado to your Your hangover after a night I'm the snake outta barn That one you ever did right The gunpowder to drum I'm son The son of a gun Son of a gun Son of a gun Son of a gun
And you can tell that I still give a fuck Still whiskey I'm half-a-bottle already down Slumerican-made man, all around Seventy-thousand dollars a night good, look a story usin' my war as my shield The truth, and recreated The real: Plenty of fatherless fill up the pit in the buildin' Usin' the for the feelin', it's just like poppin' a pill And I'm it in Lost at a win for the poems that you inspired, I'm rakin' it in Never heard you say "give me five," so it a ten Think the I'm ballin', look at the bastard of him When I went to jail for the first time, I thought you Son of a bitch, I admit it, I guess the rumours are 'Cause I look in the mirror, I see from what I 'came Trial by fire, pain, rain
Cause I'm the lighting to your Dark bloodstains a dogfight The tornado to your hangover after a long night I'm the snake your barn one mistake you ever did right The gunpowder to drum I'm son The son of a gun Son of a gun Son of a gun Son of a gun
