Not all bro's can pull a trigger you say
But given the shot, I'd take it anyday
And it's all about the time and the place that we're raised in
Looking over my shoulder, in a city that never sleeps
Guns and knives take place, in the pockets
Of every guy to ever walk these streets
You think you've got it made
But we know the truth
You think you've got it made
Well I guess the streets could be safer
You don't need backup, when you're John Mclaine
I'm terrified of the centre at night
Because I don't die hard and that's a shame
Hoods up, socks on show
Air Nike max and off you go
Into the night but not to suck blood
but to suck on the roach of a freshly rolled blunt
You think you've got it made
But we know the truth
You think you've got it made
Your lines are flatter than an open bottle of Bud
And the world's a pretty messed up place
You're not, making it any better
A big, bad man persona
Won't cover a bad tattoo or talentless song
You're standing over there, with your hardcore mates
I've got real friends, they aren't fake
Your lines are flatter than an open bottle of Bud
And the world's a pretty messed up place
You're not, making it any better
Your lines are flatter than an open bottle of Bud
And the world's a pretty messed up place
You're not, making it any better
I'm not useless
I'm not, useless
