The Westerner (Explicit)

I was born one morning in December

On the coldest day

Abandoned by my mother

By my father I was raised

My father raised my brother and I

With a stubborn heart

My mother left me her good looks and confident charm

Well I spent most of my teenage years

Searching for her love

I could not find it anywhere

So I turned to drugs

And after all the smoke had cleared

And it was said and done

I found myself addicted by the age of 21

I tell the truth

I've been beaten

I've been bruised

I was left for dead as well

I was wrongfully accused

You left me locked inside a cell

I've been cheated

I've been sued

But I have lived to tell

The more you kick me when I'm down

The more it truly helps

I feel the madness creeping slowly

Loved by many I'm still lonely

Paid the price for your mistake

The music died the day I walked away

No I won't let you win

Not this time my friend

You know that I'm better in the end

No you won't take my pride

I'll keep my head held high

Cause I know that I'm better in the end

Whoa

I know you're jealous

And you wish you could be me

I'm so smart and clever with my lyrics can't you see

There's nobody better in this music industry

And in case you think you are go ahead give me a ring

Whoa

I deserve a purple heart

For all my f*cking wounds

Lacerations to my ego

Pride that I consume

And in your final hours

When you are looking back

You'll find that I'm the best at what I do

And that's a fact

No I won't let you win

Not this time my friend

You know that I'm better in the end

No you won't take my pride

I'll keep my head held high

Cause I know that I'm better in the end

And all I got to say

Take it or leave it

But you best believe me it's true

There's no mistaking

So please stop thinking I'm through

You know I'm better than you

No I won't let you win

Not this time my friend

You know that I'm better in the end

No you won't take my pride

I'll keep my head held high

Cause I know that I'm better in the end

In the end
