Dustin Thomas - G.U.T.S lyrics

[Verse 1: Dustin Thomas] It's getting hard He said to his team and his heart is hard[?] He drinks and he drinks but it goes too far None of his friends know Every single night he's down on his knees saying please don't let my mama die Alone and scared and confused by the others Trying to be a role model for his three younger brothers He broke a mirror trying to deal with the pain He was looking at cross tattooed with her name Sickness had him sick and scared She died four months later, despite of his prayers The last words she cried that night Looking so damn pretty under hospital lights Said ‘Son, don't you even dare To not become the man you would have been if I was there and In times of trouble, don't be afraid to call You know I'll be in heaven, watching you all' [Pre-Chorus] I will be strong, I will press on No matter how hard it gets I'll do my best, no matter how No matter how hard it gets [Chorus] The d**, the books, the booze, the blame The loneliest nights, nights spent awake No matter what the name they feel the same pain So much to take, drive the world insane The d**, the books, the booze the blame The loneliest night, nights spent awake A lot of things I am, a lot of things I ain't God Use The Sinner, Got Use The Saint [Verse 2] It's cold and dark He fights back again and he flees the car Shoots and he's in at the prison yard But his friends, the can't understand They say time and again, g**ning makes us angry men Not fair when you're playing a part Got a family to feed, your brother's got a shaky heart Did then what the devil made him do Bought a black bandana became a rebel with the ghetto youth Ain't been the same since his mom hit the grave Took two to the chest, took two to the name He's another the story of a love gone wrong When the good die young and the dead live on And Jimmy couldn't take it Until he snapped and he, tried to go But he couldn't go back, peace You live a life, so cold and so strong But ghetto children, you did nothing wrong [Pre-Chorus] I will be strong, I will press on No matter how hard it gets I'll do my best, no matter how No matter how hard it gets And I need your forgiveness Before I walk this road A man who comes from a broken home Has no need to be broken [Chorus] The d**, the books, the booze, the blame The loneliest nights, nights spent awake No matter what the name they feel the same pain So much to take drive the world insane The d**, the books, the booze the blame The loneliest night, nights spent awake A lot of things I am, a lot of things I ain't God Use The Sinner, Got Use The Saint
