It's 2PM before I make it outside
I got a fight with life
Although my hands keep getting tied
And I know you'd love to see me settle for last
But I burned up all my chances
So I knew my fate was cast
And I don't care if I live or die
That knife ain't on my neck
So you can ask why
If the whole world told me to go straight to hell
I take cash, or I take lights, and this ain't your life to sell
And what's next on the list?
Say I need to settle down but don't know why I'm pissed
And you ain't worth your smile just to run up my credit
I may not know what I want, but I'm damn sure I will get it
And I don't care if I live or die
That knife ain't on my neck
So you can ask why
If the whole world told me to go straight to hell
I take cash, or I take lights, and this ain't your life to sell
If I followed your straight and narrow route
Well I'd die a whole lot lonelier than if I keep striking out
Your feelings change but I don't care in the least
I ain't gotta break my back just to give you some peace
And I don't care if I live or die
That knife ain't on my neck
So you can ask why
If the whole world told me to go straight to hell
I take cash, or I take lights, and this ain't your life to sell
