WEBVTT
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:14.070
Wires got crossed when I was about 3
00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:16.040
Dad had bloody heavy hands,
used them on me
00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:17.730
My mamma? Bless her heart,
cuz she gave me a start
00:00:17.780 --> 00:00:19.800
She got killed, bad man,
dad stiffed in a scam
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:21.300
Grew up in the system,
bounced, couple homes
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:23.140
This woman Mary, gifted me
hand-me-down clothes
00:00:23.740 --> 00:00:25.150
Shy at the start, till
this guy named Shifty
00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:27.370
Who had 100 pounds on me called
me "Brittle Bones Nicky"
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:28.910
A target aimed straight at my face
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.840
Big house of kids, cred is cake
00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:32.730
Rounded up a couple bucks,
got it freshly baked
00:00:32.780 --> 00:00:33.710
Sat down to dinner
00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:34.700
Put it right in his face
00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:38.020
Right in his fuckin'
face (in his face)
00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:41.640
You’re not gonna push me around
00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:45.520
You can’t get me down,
down, down (down!)
00:00:45.740 --> 00:00:49.530
You’re not gonna push
me around (nooo!)
00:00:49.580 --> 00:00:52.980
You can’t get me down,
down, down (down!)
00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:09.570
Bounce ahead a couple years,
king of my peers
00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:11.510
We biked the block, cheersin’
pretty girls beers
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:13.160
Did alright for myself,
petty thefts I pulled
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:15.280
I dropped outta school, built
a circle of bulls
00:01:15.340 --> 00:01:17.080
Needing more money, covered
head to toe
00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:18.850
Snuck up, sucker, took
his stash, and drove
00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:20.570
The cash stashed, it was pouring in
00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:22.450
Bulk of it up my nose
00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:24.390
How dumb I was, twenty-one
00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:26.050
And way out of control
00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:27.790
The cops kicked down the door
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:29.820
She did a line right off my (wow!)
00:01:29.900 --> 00:01:31.620
Said "that’s one way to go down"
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:33.480
Knew I was hard as rock
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.240
Knew-I-was-hard-as-rock (hard as rock)
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:40.840
You’re not gonna push me around
00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:44.620
You can’t get me down,
down, down (down!)
00:01:44.820 --> 00:01:48.590
You’re not gonna push me around (no!)
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.040
You can’t get me down,
down, down (down!)
00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:53.790
Bars, new world, who could I trust?
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.790
Killers were nice, smugglers
were rough
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.660
Met a man named Ben,
quite sharp & witty
00:01:57.660 --> 00:01:59.610
Gave me books about money & cities
00:01:59.660 --> 00:02:01.470
Taught me ropes, only
years coulda gained
00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:03.120
Looked out for each other,
M.O’s the same
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.090
That night I heard Ben,
turning 50 in May
00:02:05.140 --> 00:02:06.910
Yellin’ so loud, two decades we aged
00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:08.710
Found him cornered, pants
down, shanked
00:02:08.760 --> 00...........
