degenerates - extended version
Sixteen, with a big dream
To see myself posted on the big screen
With a beauty queen to be with me on every scene
And maybe even make a few of our own
Living like that Lorde song Royals
Just trailer trash acting like he's someone important
Young, rebellious and don't wanna listen to no one (Whoa)
Thank God I didn't go thru it alone
We all had homemade tattoos
Stupid long haircuts of course our dads who
Hated that we had em
But he knew he couldn't stop us
House pets from turning into a bunch of monsters
I just keep reminiscing about that the days
We would hotbox in the parking lot or in alley ways
We didn't make time to grow up
But made time to screw up and fall in love
I said about a million times that I'm leaving the past behind me
But old habits die hard
And the bad ones die even harder
I've had the doubts and seen the lies
The demons attack inside me
I'm always fighting
I'm always fighting
I'm always fighting my own degeneracy
My own degeneracy
My own degeneracy
My own degeneracy
This house don't feel like my home
I been feelin' like I'm all on my own
Real gangsters move in silence
You hear the music it's just sirens
I'm just trynna tell my life story
How we made it out the jungle roaring
My life is a casino I'm just bettin' all in
I spend a couple racks and my bros we ballin'
Hit decline on them pries when they callin'
You drown in yourself way too often
When it seems rough just keep walkin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
I hope one day you change
Myself, I feel like I'm just
I hope one day you change
Myself, I feel like I'm just, yeah
I said about a million times that I'm leaving the past behind me
But old habits die hard
And the bad ones die even harder
I've had the doubts and seen the lies
The demons attack inside me
I'm always fighting
I'm always fighting
I'm always fighting my own degeneracy
My own degeneracy
My own degeneracy
My own degeneracy
My own degeneracy
My own degeneracy
My own degeneracy
My own degeneracy
(K)no(w) I ain't fast but my past is catchin' up to me
Cold in my apartment but I remember the summer heat
Hopin' and wishin' she didn't have to be done with me
Wishin' she wouldn't stop lettin' me touch her lips
Porch light flickers and says it's time to be comin' in
Neither of us liked it we were a couple disgruntled kids
Hated everyone and everything for the love of it
A bunch of little know-it-alls that didn't know nothin'
Forgive us Father for the arrogance and short comin's
We had in our youth and the things we happened to do
I didn't know what any of it meant, I was just following suit
And now all I got to talk about when I hop in the booth
Is all the ways I can apologize for dishonoring You
I know that You forgive me it's the most honest of truth
But if only I could hear it when I sit down in the pews
I nothing short of adore the creator of the stars
And I know that he'd want me to be united with the church
But I find more family-like fellowship when I'm at the bar
Even if they encourage me to be stupid and immature
I look at the path I was walking on and it sucked to learn
That it led to nothin' but a dead end
So I up and turned around
And then I found something now that I wasn't sure of before
'Cause I was stuck embracing us for what we were
Degenerates
