[Verse 1]
I was barely fifteen when I laid my hand on this .45
And in all these fucking years that went by, there were maybe one or two real friends
I barely learned how to sort people out, I barely learned how to smile
A few hours of sleep, some things I still can't say without sighing
She hurts to look at, she works hard, we made love, we did the impossible
And all these scars on their faces, they're watching my life like in Closer
His three older brothers on the ground, it's as if I was born in a cauldron
Now, it's the poison speaking (Speak), it's as if I was born in the Bourbon
[Bridge]
My heart's as small as the world, they're not that dangerous to us
If they saw it from my point of view, I don't think they'd talk about war as much
I was barely fifteen when I laid my hand on this .45 (.45) but I broke the eh, eh, eh, eh
[Chorus]
And we spent our lives going through hardships
But it's better than spending it avoiding the mirrors
For these brown bills (For these brown bills), I broke the eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh (If you knew everything I had to leave behind)
And we spent our lives (Spent our lives) going through hardships
But it's better than spending it (Spending your life) avoiding the mirrors
For these brown bills, I broke the eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh (J.V.L.I.V.S)
[Verse 2]
I know the matrix, always looking for money, I'm in the cast
When numbers talk, it puts love and peace in a trap, both stay quiet (Hah)
I know the best tools, nothing to see here apart from guns backstage
I never extinguished the fire I had in my soul nor the dreams I had in my head
A kid pulling up with your girl, we're wreaking havoc
Tough, kid from the trenches, Glock expert, expert in banter
A few contracts later, a few friends earlier
Ten million for everything to change, A rifle under the bed
[Bridge]
My heart as small as the world (Nineteen), nah
If you saw it from my point of view, you wouldn't talk about war as much
I was barely fifteen when I laid my hand on this .45, and I broke the eh, eh, eh, eh
[Chorus]
And we spent our lives (Spent our lives) going through hardships
But it's better than spending it (Spending your life) avoiding the mirrors
For these brown bills (For these brown bills), I broke the eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh (If you knew everything I had to leave behind)
And we spent our lives (Spent our lives) going through hardships
But it's better than spending it (Spending your life) avoiding the mirrors
For these brown bills, I broke the eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
