Live your life don't look up to mine Life on a knife edge, life of a slime And yet you said its gold when its grime Parts of my soul sold while you drank wine Need to fold before confusing glamour an pain
I'm not your role model not a person to follow Enjoy your parents who coddle with silver bottles Be thankful you never huddled alone left below Its hurtful that you wanted to go into the only things I know My path is lonely with woe my strength is just built from blows
Those traits you seek created by fates I wouldn't wish on snakes My wits were gained by survival of being out in alleys late Strength from the desperate struggle of being born a mistake Will of rusted iron from a life on my lonesome with it all at stake Will you throw away happiness and family to be a copy and a fake
