Life Is a Beatdown

Life is a beat down
 Life is a beat down you better understand
 So stop your crying sissy and take it like a man
 Nobody gives you nothing if you can't get it on
 Life is beat down and your word is your bond
 Yeah only the strong survive
 There are two kinds of people who always come my way
 Evil looking mothers and those who run away
 Meek mild and timid like Clark before is was Superman
 When they come into my life I try to lend a helping hand
 Life is beat down you better understand
 So stop your crying sissy and take it like a man
 Nobody gives you nothing if you can't get it on
 Life is beat down and your word is your bond
 Yeah only the strong survive
 I used to be a bad boy running from the law
 Knocking all that cocaine knocking all them whores
 Running like a locomotive running out of steam
 Till I found a piece of the American dream
 Then I found a guitar fell into my hand
 Now I'm playing for myself I'm not a company man
 So you better eat your wheaties if you want to take my seat
 I came up in the old school and I don't accept defeat
 Life is beat down you better understand
 So stop your crying sissy and take it like a man
 Nobody gives you nothing if you can't get it on
 Life is beat down and your word is your bond
 Each night on MTV I heard some rock star whining
 About his record sales and how his stars not shining
 He tries to blame his Mama his Sister and his Daddy
 He should shut his mouth sit down and roll a fatty
 And let the smoke clear out the fog that's clouding his brain
 But all the ever thinks about is money sex and frame
 And all that liposuction
 and all that mass production
 He sits and counts his bank while he lets the devil fuck him
 And maybe he can find a way to make a contribution
 Cause you gotta sing the blues if you wanna pay your dues
 And you know it don't come easy
 Life is beat down you better understand So stop your crying sissy and take it like a man Nobody gives you nothing if you can't get it on Life is beat down and your word is your bond
