[Verse 1: Slug]
Back in the days when I was a teenager
Before they invented the internet and ravers
You could find the Sluggo standin' on this very spot
Holdin' up the torch for his Minnesota hip-hop
City bus cuts through the snow twice as good
As your imported all-terrain vehicle ever could
And these boots were made for keepin' my feet warm
And that's just what they'll do until the day we're all reborn
The headphones I wear push the wind off my ears
Turn the volume up to seven so I never have to hear
These people that keep tryin' to make me insecure
With the toxins they continue to breathe into the air
The music that my soul hungers and hurts to hold
And the women that have watched me unravel and unfold
The worries that carry me through my busy endeavours
And the pa**ion that compels me to withstand the weather
The child that I vowed to teach and guide
And keep me fired and forever tryin' to reach the sky
I'm just a man, a musician, a brother, a lover, a dad
Take my hand
All I am is all I have
