The Gutter

I grew up out the gutter Had no love for my mother He was out smoking the caine It broke my heart looking in her eyes and seeing her pain She kept telling me to hold on its gone be ok Maybe dad will straighten up one day But if not I'll be carrying his casket Cause he carried my ass when I ain't have shit I came up out the puddle Dipping my head like a Baptist It was always my dream to be living lavish Instead of a savage Hard and calloused Son be strong your gone be ok Just remember there's always brighter days I know you're stressed And I feel your pain But the sun shines After the rain Son don't cry it's gone be alright There's a brighter day awaiting Just get through the night If your faith gone be tested then son you're gonna have to fight Fight I grew up out the gutter Had no love for my mother He was out smoking the caine It broke my heart looking in her eyes and seeing her pain She kept telling me to hold on its gone be ok Maybe dad will straighten up one day But if not I'll be carrying his casket Cause he carried my ass when I ain't have shit I came up out the puddle Dipping my head like a Baptist It was always my dream to be living lavish When I was younger daddy Wasn't there He was too busy blowing Crack cocaine in the air Hoping one day he'd be able to come down The devil had him lost But I hope he's been found Hands of time go round and round The monkey had his back He never meant to let me down Saw the feds snatch him up Yea they threw him on the ground But when he passes I hope he'll be heaven bound I grew up out the gutter Had no love for my mother He was out smoking the caine It broke my heart looking in her eyes and seeing her pain She kept telling me to hold on its gone be ok Maybe dad will straighten up one day But if not I'll be carrying his casket Cause he carried my ass when I ain't have shit I came up out the puddle Dipping my head like a Baptist It was always my dream to be living lavish
