Lyrics Monster - Strung Out

Time it makes you old
Experience makes you wise
It's only a fool who judges life by
What he sees in other people's eyes.
The decisions that you cast
Effect the outcome of your game
And the only person who's gonna think about you
Is the one that's standing in your shoes

Live by the sword or die by the sword
I'm a weapon of my set.
The only family that I've ever known
Is the gun that's by my side

Little big man, he's not alone
Now he's all grown up his stories
Written all along these city walls.

Found unity, he's gained a brotherhood
As they gather to beat you down
The fists reign hard, the fightin never stops.
There's no mercy in this town

And I don't know when it's gonna' end for me
This side of town is all I know, it's all I see
If I go on like this I'm gonna end it all one day
It's my destiny, it's my reality, It's society

What the fuck?
I wear my colors proud but stare me down
I've got a million scars to prove my pain
You think you know who I am?
Fucki no!
Try walking a mile in my shoes.

Quick on the draw
Never walk alone
Know your enemy
Never be afraid, it's what they always say
Till they come around for you.

Ghetto birds light the evening
Sky as the sun begins to fall
Another night he'll spend in this
Jungle with his back up against the wall

Little big man
He's not alone now
He's all grown up his stories
Written all along these city walls.

The fists ain't hard, I never walk alone
Know your enemy, never be afraid
It's what they always say
Till they come around for you!
