More Than the Truth

Lookin' back now to where I've been I've walked beside the "infamous" to the bloody end I seen the criminal commit the crime I did my share and did my time I led Satan's people straight to the gates of hell I fed off the scum at the bottom of the well Just to be awaken in reality's grip drenched in sweat Yet I can't honestly say that I have a single regret I made it from the depths of despair to what some may call the top of the world I've been everything from the "low-life" to the lost girl Yet I had to walk the line Decide which path to leave behind They say there is no hope for the one smokin' dope I beg to disagree What about me In life it be not about what you've done People care not where you're from Can't live by what you once were Can't hide behind fear of what may occur Release the sorrow Live like there is no tomorrow Stand up for your destiny It takes more than the truth to set you free
