You've convicted me for what you've done For all that you've taught me to be I hold the truth, you spiel the lies For what you want them to believe Knocked down - and left to bleed Back to my cage - then let me back on to the streets Raised by the system, by the ruthless It's they who have created me
Kill Raised to - kill Bred to - kill Raised to kill back on the streets
Cursed by my sadness and lack of self worth I wanted to die since my first day of birth Loathed and rejected, disrespected Now scared for the rest of my life i resent it Knocked down - and left to bleed Back to my cage - then let me back onto the streets Raised by the system, by the ruthless It's they who have created me
Darkness has raised me and bathed me in sin Your system is darkness and my next of kin
The sunlight pours through my window The grim breath of existence wakes me from my dream One foot on the floor to start the day Every other step is misery The tears are gone, but the emptiness lie follow
