What do we do
With nothing to hold onto
We die and we live
With the walls closing in
I'm not criminal and I'm not giving up
Before your mind's made up...just listen up
You want potential, well I got potential
There's just 6 shots left inside my pistol today
Livin' my life for me
Livin' my life for me
No matter what they say, no matter what you hear...livin' my life for me
No matter how they preach, they're gonna disappear...livin' my life for me
I'm not criminal and I'm not giving up
Before your mind's made up...just listen up
You want potential, well I got potential
There's just 6 shots left inside my pistol today
Livin' my life for me
Livin' my life for me
I'm not criminal and I'm not giving up
Close your mouth and open your ears...lighten the fuck up
You're selling old ways just to make a dollar
It's the mind that makes the man, not the colour of his collar
DESPERATION, DESPERATION...today
We're all desperate, we're the desperate
[x10]
