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
