Night falls when we leave, all you feel is the hunger
Dream eight-thousand-five-twelve blazin'
Had to pull up the reigns or else smother
But you're in fear of being harmed
Times are changin' myself I'm rearrangin'
Born to act out, born to act out
Interracial, special, positive beings
And then guns are shared
Stinking cigarettes and plenty of bourbon whiskey
And yes I took a trip to find out about the ways of big
Born to act out, born to act out
I'm not from Philly but some say I'm blunt
This is the city we've reached we've come to
No matter this rude boy still got that swagger
I fear no man and I'm unarmed
City seedy bars and drugs that make you feel shitty
Born to act out, born to act out
Born to act out, born to act out
Think you know where it's at
Think you know where it's at
Born to act out, born to act out
You guys think that you're hard
Dig on the decade and realize, it's all funky
Pretty older women in skirts conversation frisky
Born to act out, born to act out
You're getting paranoid
Surprises people of all shapes and sizes
It's gettin' hectic the metrics the body electric
Born to act out, born to act out
Born to act out, born to act out
Paranoid with a gat
Take it brother all the way and then you're scared
Some just having fun opening steam salvage
Don't want to be unprepared
I am I be a cool awakening
Sad classic music on the jukebox of doom
A familiar nightmare appears in my head
Hollywood blvd. barfly frolic room
Guns are for pussies
My ears have heard all these crews but we're badder
But you're lookin' like a Sissie
But you're lookin' like a Sissie
All the lights are red, all the poets dead
Tomb of lost souls some beyond salvage
Paranoid with a gat
That's just the way I am and I'm not going to front
Everybody in worn out blue jeans or tacky dresses
I was one becoming the other hellbent to discover
Go unrecognized on the corner or make moves
