Bowling For Liberty Lyrics - Artist : Bull, Dan
My days of youth were in the people's army
And I paid my dues under a legal mafia The news could hardly cover Yugoslavia Without looking down on us dudes surviving here The warzone was a training ground For the land of the free, never lay me down But the land isn't free, better pay me now 'Cause you don't wanna see me when I throw my weight around I never wait around, or set a date and count No hype like when the game announced Then when I came around the would be saying aloud That I didn't belong, that I was lame, get out But I've always done what I ain't allowed You think a crowd of haters would dissuade me now? You've only made me welcome to change the outcome I take an ounce and then upgrade to pounds, uh Foreign places, feel faceless Starting over, leave no traces I've seen things you couldn't imagine Death of innocent women and children Family will be there for each other It gave me a new beginning All was against me but I'm set free New home, Liberty City Came to a strange land Alien with a game plan To become a self-made made man Power is ambidextrous, it'll change hands Time is money and every dollar is a grain of sand Slipping into my wallet, how do I plead? It's simple your honor I'm innocent of everything but pimping your momma Depart from the dock and I start from the bottom Like slaves that were traded and stopped picking cotton Raise up and raze the construction that's stopping them Burn, Nat Turner and Spartacus, chopping up And while you're sat in the park, chatting I'm carjacking ambulances, having a laugh, when I'm crashing them No you can't have it back, I'm lacking the heart Packing an actual arsenal in back of my fire truck And I partook in every felony that you could write up I push crime numbers in the city right up The boldest agent couldn't solve the case Until they're old and grey, by then I've rolled away I'm in a stolen Sabre, feds are all in chase But let me just drop by for a bowling date, yay! Take a hike down memory lane I got a strike looking like I'm ahead of the game, uh Foreign places, feel faceless Starting over, leave no traces I've seen things you couldn't imagine Death of innocent women and children Family will be there for each other It gave me a new beginning All was against me but I'm set free New home, Liberty City Startred alone in the dark with a hope Swimming with the loan sharks in the open I keep afloat, heart open to omens that I'll see A sign any moment, my cousin Roman Bellic and me, we'll make a hell of a team Together we'll leap to the American Dream But as I climb the wall with a goal: Ascend higher, decline and fall Of the Roman Empire Living in broker broke, amid the roaches Roman roads are nowhere, close to as robust As I'd hoped for, so I carve my own path Pull up the weeds in the garden, mown grass Remodel the landscape in my image The minute hand's ticking till the time I finish Rome wasn't built overnight, in five minutes But have a look what I've done with the place, nice, innit? Never turn your back, I might stick a knife in it This is the kind of life advice I'm giving 'Cause this is the kind of life that I'm living Never let it inhibit my drive or my mission Never set a limit, still I get it did and done Inside the time given, I ice you dry like nitrogen I hide in plain sight defy your night vision Avant-garde, make caviar rise from fried chicken Foreign places, feel faceless Starting over, leave no traces I've seen things you couldn't imagine Death of innocent women and children Family will be there for each other It gave me a new beginning All was against me but I'm set free New home, Liberty City |
