Before
I began I was born to be bad
They didn’t wanna have me but
Somehow I was had
Born out of a bottle- rollin’ on a Saturday night
Livin’ wasn’t easy when the child was young
Daddy took to stealin’ and Mama, she got hung
No one could save me
So I had to learn to get out and fight
Out on the rocks they broke both my hands
Beat me so badly that I couldn’t stand
Couldn’t fight them all alone so I ran
Tried to get away but they kept on callin’ me
Made myself a livin’ for me out on the street
Hustlin’ and dealin’ and
Rollin’ the whores and the freaks (and the junkies)
Saw what I liked and took everything
I thought I could steal
Danger is waiting for you out of the light
Your future’s impaled
On the end of a switchblade knife
Hunger and pain are the
Only things that you ever feel
It’s all that is real
Gnawed at my bones like a rat in a trap
Stretched me so far that I finally snapped
Got to get the monkey off of my back
Tried to get away but they kept on clawing me
Bad Crazy you know you’ve gone insane
Well you can see the madness in my eyes
Can’t survive if you don’t stay alive
You can’t be free until you die
