Monster Lyrics by Strung Out

Volume One

1996

[Intro]
Time it makes you old
Experience makes you wise
It's only a fool who judges life
By what he sees in other people's eyes
The decisions that you cast
Affect the outcome of your game
And the only person who's gonna think about you
Is the one that's standing in your shoes

[Verse 1]
Live by the sword or die by the sword
I'm a weapon of my set
The only family that I've ever known
Is the gun that's by my side

[Chorus]
Little big man
He's not alone now
He's all grown up
His stories written all along these city walls

[Verse 2]
Found unity, he's gained a brotherhood
As they gather to beat you down
The fists reign hard, the fighting never stops
There's no mercy in this town
And I don't know when it's gonna end for me
This side of town is all I know, it's all I see
If I go on like this, I'm gonna end it all one day
It's my destiny, it's my reality, It's society

[Bridge]
I wear my colors proud, don't stare me down
I've got a million scars to prove my pain
You think you know who I am?
Try walking a mile in my shoes

[Verse 3]
Quick on the draw
Never walk alone
Know your enemy
Never be afraid, it's what they always say
Till they come around for you
Ghetto birds light the evening sky
As the sun begins to fall
Another night in this jungle spent
With his back up against the wall

[Chorus]
Little big man
He's not alone now
He's all grown up
His stories written all along these city walls

[Outro]
Quick on the draw
Never walk alone
Know your enemy
Never be afraid, it's what they always say
Till they come around for you
