Got a degree in petty crime and wasted time For better or for worse Can't teach me sh**, I've got a spoiled mind It's a blessing and a curse Streets taught me everything I need to know When to stay, when to fight and when to go Politics it's a b**h but that's the life Live by the sword get cut once or twice Once or twice No one ever told me life would be this cruel Sex Thugs and rock and roll Days are long and the nights are cold Sex Thugs and rock and roll I know I've wasted all my time Sex Thugs and rock and roll Sing my life away on the dotted line Sex Thugs and rock and roll Loyalty and betrayal it's all that I can see I'm on my own again I'm a part of it, it's a part of me I'm back home again West Sac. to the flats where I still live Harbor park after dark where there's k**ings Where I'm from, where I'm at I won't forget Back where I started you ain't seen nothing yet
