Defiance - Slaine, Rite Hook

None of us know the future and the will to be

I can’t seem to shake my past and it’s killing me

I read my story through the eyes of a children see

From the out lookin' in and I can’t believe it’s really me

I’m poised from the noise that I voiced as a boy

But the void got so big it destroyed him

Everyone he ever loved fed him poison

His misery is fully public and his only joy is sin

Tortured by forces he never had a choice in

Gave away his toys and he never had a fortune

What if it had said to him his medicine was caution

He was twisted he’d just drink it

He would risk it if he lost it

He was vicious and resistant

He was pissed unrealistic

Nihilistic

He’s no victim

He was quick to see an exit

He hates it and escapes it but he makes it cause he gets it

It makes him so upset that he prays that he forgets it

The only place I feel at home is when I’m on tour

My mother’s lies are in the eyes of every blonde whore

Jesus Christ please listen to me once more

Before I pack my bags up and head off for the front door

What am I dying for (what am I dying for)

I’ll only know if I find the cure (Find the cure)

I can’t let me down, no way no how

I need to breathe

Cause I can’t right now and I will somehow

But don’t wait for me (don't wait for me)

I was born in the jungle with the tigers and the lions

Spawned from the sides of hunger and defiance

Fed up with the liars, I would run up on the giants

Holdin' irons with the silencer, unafraid of violence

It’s an honor

It’s a promise

It’s an iron fist

It’s the system

It’s the mission

It’s defiance

It’s a dying bitch

The king of everything else, I told you I am it

I live for this, I die for this, I dig a ditch and lie in it

Cause I don’t give a shit I’m fucking buying it

Get high and buy a rope, I’m dopey and supplyin' it

The Gs and the OGs sees how I’m eyein' it

You’re whole steeze OC, get high with your highness

My rhymes got the mindless behind

Your honor, a army, obstacle, mountain, I climbed it

Hell is hot, so the jealous plots I don’t mind it

Crime is timeless, I’m a product of the violence

What am I dying for (what am I dying for)

I’ll only know if I find the cure (Find the cure)

I can’t let me down, no way no how

I need to breathe

Cause I can’t right now and I will somehow

But don’t wait for me (don't wait for me)

So now this is hell and I’m ready for war

Back off the magnum and fightin' like never before

Back on the map, lightin' up bricks of C4

Writtin' my comeback, I’mma make em sick to see George

Lightin' on drum tracks with the bum rap but I done that

Cause I was fed to the wolves back as a young cat

So much pain in my paint but I’m regaining my strength

Please somebody please try and say that I ain’t

I’m defiant

What am I dying for (what am I dying for)

I’ll only know if I find the cure (Find the cure)

I can’t let me down, no way no how

I need to breathe

Cause I can’t right now and I will somehow

But don’t wait for me (don't wait for me)
