A Mile In My Shoes

ALONE IN THIS HOUSE QUIET AS A MOUSE WONDERING WHEN IT'LL BE MY TURN
 
NOTHINGS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE POOR

THE PRICE I PAID THE WOMEN YOU LAID ONLY IF SHE HAD STAYED

ID SLAY A DRAGON WITH JUST ONE STONE WENT FROM BIRTH TO FULLY GROWN

HE OWNS HIS WIFE A BORROWED LIFE MOTIVE OR EXCUSE ITS RATHER TRIFE

WIPE THOSE TEARS NO ONE CARES THE WHOLE WORLDS SCREAMING THIS ISNT FAIR

FACT OR FICTION WHITE BOYS LYNCHING EVERYONE WISHING UPON A STAR

THINKING THEIR DREAMS ARE WAY TOO FAR

THE CHOICE IS HARD ITS A WILD CARD

BURNED LEFT SCARED RUINED AND CHARRED 

THEY HIJACKED FOUR PLANES AND KILLED FOR FAME

HARDLEY INSANE JUST A COURT ROOM GAME

FORGOT MY OWN NAME EASY TO TAME

IGNITE THE FLAME AND DELIGATE THE BLAME

MY PICTURES HUNG WITH A TACK NOT WORTHY OF A PLAQUE

BUILT AND STACKED BAGS ALWAYS PACKED

STREETS ARE MY HOME ALONE I ROME

PAY THE TOLL RACE THE COPS IT NEVER STOPS

LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES

CONFUSING FACES HIGH SPEED CHASES

LEFT OVER FOOD WHATS UP DUDE

CONSIDERED RUDE VORN WITH AN ATTITUDE

PICKING UP STRAGGLERS IN A BAR FRONTING IN A RENTAL CAR

STANDING MY GROUN PAUSE REWOUND 

USED TO BE FUN WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND DUMB

YOU THINK YOU WON IT'LL NEVER BE DONE

COME ON SON YOU HIDE BEHIND A WATER GUN

THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN NONE

          WANTA BUN BUN
