I've been where it's at
I've been to hell and back
I lost my way
Then I got back on track
Always keeping at that
And I always try
To give a stranger a smile
And you know that I won't lie
I won't lie
I won't lie
So don't you cry
I won't lie
I won't lie
So don't you cry
I've been in the rat race
I've been in a pit full of snakes
I was and then I wasn't
Surrounded by fiends
Yeah you know I'm always buzzin
I say that I've changed my ways
I've just changed the way
That I look at things these days
They say that I was born in a maze
Like a rat in a cage
I say f*ck what they say
It is or it isn't
If it isn't it a'int your business
This is a game
You got to play till you're finished
And I always try to fly
Higher than the mountain side
And you know
I never lie
I never lie
I'll never lie
I never lie
So don't you cry
I've been living with the sinner and snakes
Always on the wrong side of town
I've been a bad man
Bad men do bad things to good people
I done sin but I a'int evil
Hanging on the wrong side of town
Then I changed the game
Changed the name of the game
And the people who I play it with
No need to explain how things have changed
But you know I've been a waiting for this
And I always try to keep the light on
And I never lie
I never lie
I never lie
I never lie
So don't you cry
Don't you cry don't you cry don't you cry
Don't you cry don't you cry don't you cry
I always try to give a stranger a smile
I always try to keep the light on
And I never lie
I never lie
So don't you cry
I never lie I never lie so don't you cry
Don't you cry don't you cry don't you cry
