I gonna have to get a gun
Seems like everybody else has one
I'm not hipster type
Don't give a fuck about the hype
And is better to stay in
Think of insect on my skin
I'm never north, north, I'm north west
I know a buzzard from a hand-saw
That's the test
I wonder why I born
'Cause I lie awake a dawn
Seems I born the cross to load
For all want to dig me wrong
They're shoot you in the street
They're shoot you in the back
They're shoot you down like me
They're shoot you for the crack
This life is harder than it looks
Sometimes I lived my life it filled
And see the castles for the rooks
It's easier in firms
It's time to get a gun
I've always wanted one
'Cause I loved the world
But treats me this way
I'll be a hero in the end
I'm not a mad man, man your friend
Like a wash of summer rain
I'll take away your pain
Yes, seemed those people are the same
They leave no last seeds of fame
They're shoot you in the street
They're shoot you in the back
They're shoot you down like me
They're shoot you for the crack
This life is harder than it looks
Sometimes I lived my life it filled
High castles of the rooks
It's easier in firms
It's time to get a gun
I waited it for too long
'Cause I loved the world
But I leave in this way
They're shoot you in the street
They're shoot you in the back
They're shoot you down like me
They're shoot you for the crack
This life is harder than it looks
Sometimes I lived my life it filled
High castles of the rooks
It's easier in firms
It's time to get a gun
I waited it for too long
'Cause I loved the world
But I leave in this way
Leaved in this way
