Everlast – Everlast lyrics

I knew a man with a son, he bought him a gun
And learnt shorty just how to use it
Taught him huntin and skinnin, right from the beginning
And built himself a mighty fine killer
But shorty got picked on
Beat on and kicked on
And all his classmates wanna punk him
So with tears in his eyes, played catch em' in the Rye
And told his old man he went huntin
Then he felt so free, like his destiny
Laid somewhere out on the horizon
His heart went cold, he felt a hundred years old
And started pullin back on the trigger
Chorus:
I think I'm gonna die today
Everyone that hurt me's gonna pay
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong?
Go so wrong
See me
Hear me
But don't touch me, you should fear me
Hold your life dearly, 'cause I'm seriously disturbed
That's my words
Straight to my mother
Wait, my brother
Go find another want to play sucker
Cos I ain't the one
Put shade in your sun and took all your shine
Watch me get mine
Feel my love burn
Before my sins
Watch me grow turns
The cycle begins
Losses and wins, angels and jinns
Dancin on top of a head of a pin
Don't know where I'm going, but I know where I been
Can't hear a sound, platinum for pound
I came to get down, I came to get dirty
I came to get even
** Repeat Chorus 3 times **
Mama don't cry
Please, Mama don't cry
Mama don't cry, you did nothing wrong
