I been bruised I been used I been beaten up, I'm black and blue, and I assumed that I'd been the fool, and it's made me mean, made me cruel, made me just the same as you I did things I shouldn't do, done things to make it through While making up excuses to, just get ahead, get along, get some more, get some fun, gettin' scared of gettin' none while lookn' after number one, I gotta get ahead or get none gotta get it all and then some, Gotta look how far I come Lived so fast, died so young.
I'm chokin This smoke has got so thick that I can't cope, and it's so bad I'm almost broke and I gone way beyond all hope, and I can't breathe, I can't see Can't be too good for me, and I can't seem to find my feet, now Somebody help me please.
