Pretenders

It’s time to go all out, heed these words coming out of my mouth
I’ve held back for too long
Been fiending to get this off my chest and say this out loud
False messenger, false prophet

You never suffered a day in your life
You know you need to stop it
You look good as a clone man
Live your own life and don’t pretend

You don’t know what it’s like to get beat down and shit on by life

I’ve seen it all before
Yes blood, I’ve been through war
Straight facts no lies, the truth is in my hungry eyes

Let me tell you it’s not easy
You better believe me, this is real
Well I know, I know it’s hard sometimes
You better believe me, ‘cause this is real

Now this one goes out to the people who struggled through
The ones that fight the odds and break the molds
And put it all on the line just for survival
Those who know just what it’s like, you’ve been through the same fight
You know what it is to face the end, but for all of you that try to pretend

You don’t know what it’s like to get beat down and shit on by life

I’ve seen it all before
Yes blood, I’ve been through war
Straight facts no lies, the truth is in my hungry eyes

Let me tell you it’s not easy, you better believe me, this is real
Well I know, I know it’s hard sometimes
You better believe me, this is real
Sing it with me if you know it’s real
Sing it with me if you feel it too
You better believe me, ‘cause this is real

With our backs against the wall, we stand tall
We will stand tall

Fucking hell
I’ve heard it over and over again
how you been through the struggle
how you been through war, but we know that’s a lie my friend
Fall back with hate that you’re spewing
Forgive him father cause he doesn’t know what he’s doing
Life’s about survival, and we survivors so don’t act like you’re the only one

Let me tell you it’s not easy, you better believe me, this is real
Well I know, I know it’s hard sometimes
You better believe me, this is real
Sing it with me if you know it’s real
Sing it with me if you feel it too
You better believe me, ‘cause this is real
