lyrics

I didn’t choose this life
Kids outside at the county line
Sippin what they had from they old man
I never did no time
Never been caught on the 99’
People call me friend and I believe them
I didn’t see no crime
Goin out livin ain’t somethin I mind
Tried to lend a hand like I belonged there

I took in all the thoughts I could vision
And it came to me it’d barely changed at all
One boy said to me we’re the only ones movin at all
Yeah he said to me we’re the only ones movin at all

Who said there’s more to life x5

I didn’t choose this life
Kids outside tryna pick a fight
It was just a laugh for the young boys
Then I heard the cries
Men took shots with a 45’
When I stepped outside it was old blood
I never spoke no lies
Story they told you know it’s not quite right
Men slipped away off to the badlands

I took in all the thoughts I could vision
And I saw the boys who’d barely changed at all
He said to me we’re the only ones movin at all
Yeah he said to me we’re the only ones movin at all

Who said there’s more to life x5

I didn’t choose this life
Kids outside at the county line
Sippin what they had from they old man
