Black boots, red cup
Brown liquor, no suds
Some bad motherfuckers just rolled up, yeah
Firecracker, short fuse
I pull the plug out on you like a corkscrew
No limit, no curfew, yeah
To get everything I wanted in this lifetime
I had to put my beliefs on the front line
And every song that I sing
It's always been you and me
Tell my baby it'll be another late night
I left work eight hours after midnight
No breaks, no sleep
And it's always been you and me
You know it's always been you and me
No money, no short change
You're still hating, poor thing
Middle fingers up, tell you one more thing, yeah
You can't hear me? Let me dumb it down
I'm slum by nature from a small town
We tote guns by nature, no show now, yeah
To get everything I wanted in this lifetime
I had to put my beliefs on the front line
And every song that I sing
It's always been you and me
Tell my baby it'll be another late night
I left work eight hours after midnight
No breaks, no sleep
And it's always been you and me
Like a raven over the grave, I get lost over the page
I'm in tune with my spirit, doing shrooms, trip for days
Eighteen with the bats in the project with the raps
White boy with the blacks, from the sticks, I crossed the tracks
Rock and roll, rolling stone, daddy left his pistol home
Load it up, shooting bottles off the porch to his songs
I was troubled, I was hurt and it bubbled to the surface
Took it out on writing songs and put that seed up under the dirt
God gave me water (bless) two sons and one daughter (bless)
I prayed and prayed harder, now I work hard and play harder
I visualize, put thumbtacks over outlines
And when they said I was out my mind
I put more goals in the pipeline, this is my time
To get everything I wanted in this lifetime
I had to put my beliefs on the front line
And every song that I sing
It's always been you and me
Tell my baby it'll be another late night
I left work eight hours after midnight
No breaks, no sleep
And it's always been you and me
You know it's always been you and me
You know it's always been you and me
