Lyrics God Forbid - Cyrus

When I was born they tried to spank me, so I shanked the doctor
And ever since, I did it my way like Frank Sinatra
The world was dark, but eventually my thoughts were blacker
And they became as sharp, as the claws on a velociraptor
As I got older, they turned me into a spiteful rebel
I never listened to Go, but I'd still fight the devil
I got as strong as I could, so I'd never need protection
An angry kid, with no legal way to release the tension
Became a criminal, went through a lot of litigation
An individual, facing trials and tribulations
My mind was fucked, so I was making corrupt decisions
Sticking both of my middle fingers up, like fuck the system
When I was twelve, was already drinking and puffing chronic
Nobody could stop me, I did whatever the fuck I wanted
I never listened to no one, cuz I was hell'a reckless
Anything they told me to do, I would just rebel against it

Lord I know I've been a nightmare, ever since I was a kid
I can't tell you all the times, that I regret the things we did
But I feel I've paid my dues now, please don't let me flip my lid
Like God forbid, yeah... God forbid

When I was younger, I just wanted to be a gangster
All the hunger I suffered, just served to feed my anger
I was excited to play the game, and to shoot the ammo
Cuz my idols were John Gotti and Lucky Luciano
At first I got into selling weed, and magic mushrooms
The only way to get what I needed, I had to hustle
I took a risk, and for this I traded my best potential
I thought I was slick 'til the pigs raided my residential
They acted like rehabilitation would make me better
But I got back from my vacation the same as ever
Was agitated because I know that the cops be watching
I still graduated to slanging blow and Oxycontin
You know I'm wit' it, as long as I'm fuckin' making money
Even though any minute, the feds can come and take it from me
I'll do whatever the fuck, I gotta do to beat 'em
Let's just hope I make it in music, before I lose my freedom

Lord I know I've been a nightmare, ever since I was a kid
I can't tell you all the times, that I regret the things we did
But I feel I've paid my dues now, please don't let me flip my lid
Like God forbid, yeah... God forbid

God forbid

Please don't make me flip my lid
Like God forbid
