Strung Out - Monster lyrics

Time it makes you old, experience

Makes you wise.

And 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 the

Only person who's gonna think about

You is the one that's standin' in your shoes

Live by the sword die by the wword

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.

I wear colors proud but stare

Me down

I've got a million scars to prove

My pain

You think you know who I am

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
