I was born one morning in December |
| [00:02.52] |
On the coldest day |
| [00:04.14] |
Abandoned by my mother |
| [00:05.27] |
By my father I was raised |
| [00:07.01] |
My father raised my brother and I |
| [00:08.83] |
With a stubborn heart |
| [00:10.02] |
My mother left me her good looks and confident charm |
| [00:12.95] |
. |
| [00:13.20] |
Well I spent most of my teenage years |
| [00:15.39] |
Searching for her love |
| [00:16.39] |
I could not find it anywhere |
| [00:17.89] |
So I turned to drugs |
| [00:19.45] |
And after all the smoke had cleared |
| [00:21.14] |
And it was said and done |
| [00:22.45] |
I found myself addicted by the age of 21 |
| [00:25.45] |
. |
| [00:25.83] |
I tell the truth |
| [00:28.26] |
I've been beaten |
| [00:29.83] |
I've been bruised |
| [00:30.45] |
I was left for dead as well |
| [00:31.89] |
I was wrongfully accused |
| [00:33.27] |
You left me locked inside a cell |
| [00:34.83] |
. |
| [00:35.08] |
I've been cheated |
| [00:35.71] |
I've been sued |
| [00:36.33] |
But I have lived to tell |
| [00:37.76] |
The more you kick me when I'm down |
| [00:39.64] |
The more it truly helps |
| [00:40.83] |
. |
| [00:41.08] |
I feel the madness creeping slowly |
| [00:44.56] |
Loved by many, I'm still lonely |
| [00:47.56] |
Paid the price for your mistake |
| [00:50.56] |
The music died the day I walked away |
| [00:54.25] |
. |
| [00:57.06] |
No, I won't let you win |
| [01:01.97] |
Not this time my friend |
| [01:05.16] |
You know that I'm better in the end |
| [01:08.30] |
|
| [01:10.29] |
No, you won't take my pride |
| [01:14.98] |
I'll keep my head held high |
| [01:18.10] |
Cause I know that I'm better in the end |
| [01:22.60] |
. |
| [01:25.41] |
|
| [01:29.17] |
Whoa, |
| [01:30.04] |
I know you're jealous |
| [01:31.16] |
And you wish you could be me |
| [01:32.60] |
I'm so smart and clever with my lyrics can't you see? |
| [01:35.91] |
There's nobody better in this music industry |
| [01:38.66] |
And in case you think you are, go ahead, give me a ring |
| [01:41.66] |
. |
| [01:42.10] |
Whoa, |
| [01:42.42] |
I deserve a purple heart |
| [01:43.48] |
For all my f*cking wounds |
| [01:44.97] |
Lacerations to my ego |
| [01:46.35] |
Pride that I consume |
| [01:47.85] |
. |
| [01:48.35] |
And in your final hours |
| [01:49.35] |
When you are looking back |
| [01:50.98] |
You'll find that I'm the best at what I do |
| [01:53.17] |
And that's a fact |
| [01:54.10] |
. |
| [01:54.60] |
No, I won't let you win |
| [01:58.98] |
Not this time my friend |
| [02:02.66] |
You know that I'm better in the end |
| [02:07.73] |
No, you won't take my pride |
| [02:12.41] |
I'll keep my head held high |
| [02:15.54] |
Cause I know that I'm better in the end |
| [02:19.97] |
And all I got to say |
| [02:21.48] |
. |
| [02:27.70] |
|
| [02:32.76] |
Take it or leave it |
| [02:36.07] |
But you best believe me it's true |
| [02:41.01] |
There's no mistaking, |
| [02:42.20] |
so please stop thinking I'm through |
| [02:45.94] |
You know I'm better than you |
| [02:48.20] |
. |
| [03:04.12] |
No, I won't let you win |
| [03:08.86] |
Not this time my friend |
| [03:12.18] |
You know that I'm better in the end |
| [03:17.18] |
No, you won't take my pride |
| [03:21.86] |
I'll keep my head held high |
| [03:24.93] |
Cause I know that I'm better in the end |
| [03:29.86] |
In the end |
