We were at school and were growing up side by side Up in your room, you showed me your collection of knives And the porn printed in black and white Big muscle boys and five foot girls shot from behind And my brother had it right Never backed down an inch in his life Quick to the blade when he saw a face he didn't like He said no one's gonna help you climb You'd better help yourself and I couldn't deny it Who knows what goes on in a young man's mind It's ride or die Who knows what goes on in a young man's mind You were 12 years old when your dad went down He'd been in the army and it put his shit right Spent his week on the weights getting ready for a fight Looking for a weakling to put down on Friday night Not gonna run for the rest of my life I'm gonna go out, go out tonight Not gonna run for the rest of my life I'm gonna go out, go out tonight Who knows what goes on in a young man's mind It's ride or die Who knows what goes on in a young man's mind Not gonna run for the rest of my life I'm gonna go out, go out tonight Not gonna run for the rest of my life I'm gonna take a weapon and go out tonight Not gonna run for the rest of my life I'm gonna go out, go out tonight Not gonna run for the rest of my life I'm gonna take a weapon and go out tonight
