Lyrics:
Less than minimum wage from the inside of a van.
Always call them your friends,
Never call them a fan.
Well I'm nothing new underneath the sun
And we're just trying to have some fun
And maybe through this, I'll find out who I am.
I'm sick and tired of club owners' lies.
I wish they could see it all from my side.
I've got integrity, I'm not commodity
So I guess I'll place my fist where they can feel me.
Give me One Good Reason Why
And I'll give you ten to tell you
Why not to try this life.
Not to try this time.
There's gonna be a fight,
I heard they're bringing knives.
Gotta watch my back, I gotta watch them fight.
While violence runs rampant again
I can't tell who's my foe or my friend.
And when a kid gets killed, it doesn't matter who's
Wrong or right
