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 Feel like a gun to my head 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
