Growin' Up In The Gutter歌词

[00:16.87]Once upon a time in an apartment home
[00:19.22]Lived a little girl with a heart of stone
[00:21.28]'Cause part of her heart was partly gone
[00:23.73]Rarely seen and hardly known
[00:25.64]Treated like a mat on a boxing ring
[00:27.84]Blood drop stains on the twin box springs
[00:29.91]Daddy came to visit it's not a dream
[00:31.83]She thought to herself what is happenin'
[00:34.22]Above her head is a crucifix
[00:36.22]But lucifer loosens up his wrist
[00:38.50]Lays her down with an open fist
[00:40.57]And all that was left was hopelessness
[00:42.79]Little girl where's your lovin' mother
[00:45.02]Under the covers under the covers
[00:47.29]Little girl what have you discovered
[00:49.35]She stuttered
[00:50.52]Growin' up in the gutter no more fairytales
[00:54.70]And so no place like hell no place like home
[00:59.49]Growin' up in the gutter black and white in a frame
[01:03.30]There we are safe and sound stray guns no aim yea
[01:07.70]Growin' up in the gutter
[01:09.43]And you ain't gotta be from the projects
[01:11.09]To deal with this nonsense rittz
[01:12.16]'Cause even in suburbia somebody will murder ya
[01:14.26]Over nothin' leave your body slumpin'
[01:15.42]In the parking lot of your complex
[01:17.10]Violence is a hard pill to swallow and digest
[01:19.12]My town is full of drug dealers
[01:20.38]Most of them get shot in the process
[01:21.95]Hustlin' and stackin' up profits
[01:23.38]They robbin' ************* like they havin' a contest
[01:25.74]**** he took a bi*ch to his apartment to brag
[01:27.34]A week later he tied up on the carpet and gagged
[01:29.67]'Cause he showed her all the pills he had for sale
[01:31.17]For the low
[01:31.64]She told her cousin
[01:32.37]Then her cousin grabbed a glock and a mask
[01:33.84]Kicked in his door laid him down
[01:35.06]Then he shot him and dashed
[01:35.90]Ran off with all that he had
[01:37.11]He used to be ballin' now he got a colostomy bag
[01:39.28]What you know about that
[01:40.34]Middle class white ***** slangin' her body for crack
[01:42.34]Mexican drug cartels you hear the buck shot shells
[01:44.51]And then the blood clot fails there ain't no healin' the wounds
[01:46.88]Biggest meth bust on the east coast right here in duluth
[01:49.44]My lyrics are proof of growin' up in the gutter
[01:52.14]You think you can define how hard you got it
[01:55.38]By what neighborhood you live in ************
[01:58.24]
[01:58.99]Wake up in the gutter
[02:00.97]No more fairytales
[02:03.12]And so no place like hell no place like home
[02:08.11]Growin' up in the gutter black and white in a frame
[02:11.77]There we are safe and sound stray guns no aim yea
[02:16.15]Growin' up in the gutter
[02:17.74]
[02:19.02]Slumerican indeed I am
[02:21.50]Drug through the mud like a **** what I am
[02:23.51]Was child who was beat I am
[02:25.68]Leather belts that made me I am
[02:27.87]Home alone again at 8 I am
[02:29.91]Somebody's life to rate I am
[02:32.13]Given to the beast by fate I am
[02:34.17]The one who did escape I am
[02:36.20]A voice for the cold in the dark I am
[02:38.55]The one who sold his heart I am
[02:40.46]From a family torn apart I am
[02:42.73]A target for your dart I am
[02:44.90]Sick again from the whips I am
[02:47.02]Head to the gun and click I am
[02:49.10]A soul that don't run from **** I am
[02:51.32]Exposed to the goats of sin I am
[02:53.55]Met a ghost and he said I am
[02:55.68]In the basement in red I am
[02:57.83]Dead cause the ouija board said
[02:59.57]I am
[03:03.58]
[03:07.64]Growin' up in the gutter no more fairytales
[03:11.78]And so no place like hell no place like home
[03:16.61]Growin' up in the gutter black and white in a frame
[03:20.33]There we are safe and sound stray guns no aim yea
[03:24.65]Growin' up in the gutter
