"Kindness For Weakness" lyrics
"I'm your huckleberry."
"Why, Johnny Ringo."
"You look like somebody just walked over your grave."
"My fight's not with you, Holliday."
"I beg to differ, sir. We started a game we never got to finish... Play for blood, remember?"
"I was just foolin' about."
"I wasn't... and this time, It's legal."
Nu Breed
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Come on
Just a nobody from the back woods
Everybody tellin' me that I'm no good
They say that boy don't act right
Cause I don't act like they think I should
I never had no silver spoon
Comin' out that bottom boy
Did my dare, broke all the rules
Better trust you don't want this drama boy
I'm tryna walk away if I can
Hope my temper don't get the best of me
Y'all boys keep on testin' me
These police 'bout to be arrestin' me
And I'm tryna do what I'm supposed to
Speakin' my name and I don't know you
Better watch out who you're close to
'Cause even your dogs will expose you
If you hate to see me shine, better
Cover up your eyes, better
Run back in your house and
Tell your mama to close the blinds
Cause It's my time, no time outs
In the driver's seat, and I'ma ride out
Think I'm fake, come find out
We face to face, don't hide now
Yeah
"Alright Lunger. Let's do it"
Let's do it
Never take my kindness
For weakness
Even though I talk what I live
And what I believe in
Cause I'm real as they come
Never back down
Never run
Cause I'm real as they come
Never back down
Never run
I'm comin' strong
Better get your weight up
'Cause I'm 'bout to take the lead
And I ain't gon' wait up
I'ma tell you straight up right freely
Don't show nobody no pity
Don't like nobody from the city
Got bad nerves so don't tempt me
My tolerance is on empty
And being fake just don't fit me
Got whiskey all in my kidneys
My word play is so nifty
But thank the Lord that I'm gifted
Should've been locked away for my crazy ways
Could've been writing this from a prison
Couldn've been dead in the grave talkin' DOA
But I had to make a change and I did it
(Yeah!)
And I made my mistakes but for Heaven's sake
I'm wide awake and I'm livin'
Some never think that Nu Breed fake
'Cause I might just hurt your feelings
And I push it to the limits
I say what I believe in
I tell 'em like it is
And everything I talk about
I talk it how I live
Y'all just talkin' what you wanna do
I'm talkin' what I did
I can tell you 'bout that real life
Ain't nothin' counterfeit
I've been hopeless and homeless
Lost inside my motions
Screwed up with no focus
I slept on the floor with roaches
I hurt the ones that love me
My heart turned black and ugly
My own family don't trust me
Sometimes my life disgusts me
Always lead the struggle
People said that I was trouble
(Ay!)
Always on the hustle
Tryna get it off the muscle (Ay!)
Had to get it how I livin'
I was livin' like a savage
(Ay!)
You said you want that real talk
Well I'ma let you have it
(Yeah!)
I'ma let you have it
I'ma let you have it
"Alright Lunger. Let's do it"
Let's do it
Never take my kindness
For weakness
Even though I talk what I live
And what I believe in
Cause I'm real as they come
Never back down
Never run
Cause I'm real as they come
Never back down
Never run
Got this dream inside my head
I promised myself I would reach it
But every night I lay down
I gotta fight away these demons
Gotta find a way to escape the pain
From a life that I believed in
And I know somebody can feel my pain
That's really the whole reason
But everything I've been through
I'm still alive and breathing
Believing in myself and
Now I see myself achieving
They told me that I couldn't
But I just kept pushin'
Smile on my face
Cause I knew that they was lookin'
"Tell me who you talkin' bout."
Anybody that doubted me
Everybody that hated me and
That's most of the people that surrounded me
I made up my mind I don't accept
The apologies and I don't forget
Anybody that think they gon' disrespect
If you got somethin' to say get it off your chest
Don't hold your breath
Don't bite your tongue
I'm old school but the night is young
"Ha ha ha ha... Tell me how you really feel."
I feel like the weight of the world
Been lifted off my shoulders
I feel like I've been at war
Comin' home, a soldier
And even though I lost it all
I gained so much knowledge
I will never lose my way again
And this right here I can promise
"And how do you plan to achieve this?"
It's easy
Never follow nobody
Blaze your own trail
When everybody fake
Stay true to yourself
And if you do this
You're sure to prevail
Otherwise you fail
And life becomes stale
(Stale, stale, stale, stale)
"Alright Lunger. Let's do it"
Let's do it
Never take my kindness
For weakness
Even though I talk what I live
And what I believe in
Cause I'm real as they come
Never back down
Never run
Cause I'm real as they come
Never back down
Never run
Never take my kindness
For weakness
Even though I talk what I live
And what I believe in
Cause I'm real as they come
Never back down
Never run
Cause I'm real as they come
Never back down
Never run
"Well... I didn't think you had it in ya!"
"Why, Johnny Ringo."
