I look in the mirror sometimes and think about how it all Small town Alabama, from city we departed Not a light in the street, morning was scary and dark To a little boy catching the bus to 5:30 sharp I used to make up to keep my mind from wandering What was in the woods for me, my stomach still rumbling From the diet Even though mama was trying to do the best that she made her violent Her boyfriend was a prick, 26 looked my direction and really didn't do shit My animosity along with my anger And disastrous school My teachers I was trouble waiting And I did too, but I like it Maybe I had to I'd always be uninvited to church events, football and family oriented stuff But I never I had it rough I embraced it, honestly, 'cause I knew how I was It made me a rebel and made me feel welcomed and loved I never knew my daddy but, they said 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 alarm Your after a long night I'm the snake outta your one mistake you ever 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

I'm the lighting to your storm Dark after a dogfight The to your alarm Your after a long night I'm the outta your barn one mistake you ever did right The to your 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 don't give a fuck Still drinking whiskey I'm half-a-bottle already man, Criminals all around Seventy-thousand dollars a isn't good, look Livin' a story usin' my war as my The truth, and recreated The real: Plenty of fatherless children fill up the pit in the Usin' the mind for the feelin', it's just like a pill And I'm it in at makin' a win Thanks for the poems that you inspired, I'm it in heard you say "give me five," so make it a ten Think the chances I'm ballin', at the bastard of him I went to jail for the first time, I thought about you Son of a bitch, I admit it, I the rumours are true 'Cause when I look in the mirror, I see what I 'came by fire, pain, heavy rain
Cause I'm the to your storm Dark after a dogfight The to your alarm hangover after a long night I'm the snake your barn That one you ever 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
