No one give a shit about the way I walk
                                    C     G
I don't mix my words, it's just the way I talk
                                  C         G
I got a pistol in my pocket and a-one black eye
                                        C      G
I say forget these motherfuckers, let's go get high

I got a baby on the way and I can't provide
                                  C       G
You can't live on love, you can't live on pride
      D                          C            
But I come to realize, well it's harder than I thought

I got to be all I can be
                   C              G
In this life there ain't no guarantee

You don't get no shit for free
          C              G                    D
Well, you get it on your own and you bring it home

So I'll go and join the army, gonna walk that line
                           C         G
A desperate decision for a desperate time
         D                          C
