00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,070
Wires got crossed when I was about 3
1
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,040
Dad had bloody heavy hands,
used them on me
2
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,730
My mamma? Bless her heart,
cuz she gave me a start
3
00:00:17,780 --> 00:00:19,800
She got killed, bad man,
dad stiffed in a scam
4
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,300
Grew up in the system,
bounced, couple homes
5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,140
This woman Mary, gifted me
hand-me-down clothes
6
00:00:23,740 --> 00:00:25,150
Shy at the start, till
this guy named Shifty
7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,370
Who had 100 pounds on me called
me "Brittle Bones Nicky"
8
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:28,910
A target aimed straight at my face
9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,840
Big house of kids, cred is cake
10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,730
Rounded up a couple bucks,
got it freshly baked
11
00:00:32,780 --> 00:00:33,710
Sat down to dinner
12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:34,700
Put it right in his face
13
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:38,020
Right in his fuckin'
face (in his face)
14
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,640
You’re not gonna push me around
15
00:00:42,060 --> 00:00:45,520
You can’t get me down,
down, down (down!)
16
00:00:45,740 --> 00:00:49,530
You’re not gonna push
me around (nooo!)
17
00:00:49,580 --> 00:00:52,980
You can’t get me down,
down, down (down!)
18
00:01:07,620 --> 00:01:09,570
Bounce ahead a couple years,
king of my peers
19
00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:11,510
We biked the block, cheersin’
pretty girls beers
20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,160
Did alright for myself,
petty thefts I pulled
21
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,280
I dropped outta school, built
a circle of bulls
22
00:01:15,340 --> 00:01:17,080
Needing more money, covered
head to toe
23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,850
Snuck up, sucker, took
his stash, and drove
24
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:20,570
The cash stashed, it was pouring in
25
00:01:20,620 --> 00:01:22,450
Bulk of it up my nose
26
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:24,390
How dumb I was, twenty-one
27
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,050
And way out of control
28
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:27,790
The cops kicked down the door
29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,820
She did a line right off my (wow!)
30
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:31,620
Said "that’s one way to go down"
31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,480
Knew I was hard as rock
32
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,240
Knew-I-was-hard-as-rock (hard as rock)
33
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,840
You’re not gonna push me around
34
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:44,620
You can’t get me down,
down, down (down!)
35
00:01:44,820 --> 00:01:48,590
You’re not gonna push me around (no!)
36
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,040
You can’t get me down,
down, down (down!)
37
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,790
Bars, new world, who could I trust?
38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,790
Killers were nice, smugglers
were rough
39
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,660
Met a man named Ben,
quite sharp & witty
40
00:01:57,660 --> 00:01:59,610
Gave me books about money & cities
41
00:01:59,660 --> 00:02:01,470
Taught me ropes, only
years coulda gained
42
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,120
Looked out for each other,
M.O’s the same
43
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,090
That night I heard Ben,
turning 50 in May
44
00:02:05,140 --> 00:02:06,910
Yellin’ so loud, two decades we aged
45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,710
Found him cornered, pants
down, shanked
46
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10...........
