I earned the right to talk this way
Ain't no one gonna make me change
I earned the right to say
I'm the shit so shout my name

I earned my right to walk this way
Look at the goddamn life I made
But you don't know the price I paid
I've done my time in the gutter, gutter

Ain't bowing down to another, another
Breaking through all the smokescreens you put up
Back then we were so good
Don't you smile in my face

'Cause the words that you said
Feel like a gun to my head
I'm through
Paid my price

Sacrificed for you
I ain't here 'cause you saved my life
The words that you said
Feel like a gun to my head

I earned my right to fight this way
Was misunderstood and underpaid
I licked the dust and I liked the taste
Back then we were so good

Don't you smile in my face
'Cause the words that you said
Feel like a gun to my head
I'm through

Paid my price
Sacrificed for you
I ain't here 'cause you saved my life
The words that you said

Feel like a gun to my head
I've done my time in the gutter, gutter
Ain't bowing down to another, another
Breaking through all the smokescreens you put up
