[Verse 1]
Reality sucks, too much pain
I can't explain why I wanna bash brains
Still I can see it on the other side
Got a new baby, wanna stay alive
Give what I give, give what I got
Make it worth while, cause I got another shot
Broken families, they always got pain
I break the chain, refuse to be the same
Mother did as good as you could
After all the abuse I still understood
Three times divorced, and three times a kid
Gave us more love than our father ever did
Now we've all grown and moved along
I tried to forget, but my brother did me wrong
But it's real hard to put it all behind me
It's like a tattoo frozen in a memory
[Verse 2]
I can't seem to erase the stain
In my brain, things will never be the same
I remember all the lies, fucked up, now I realize
Never had a chance as a kid, I was a man
Fight after fight wasn't really what I planned
Father! Whoever you are
Beat my mother down, all I see is scars
And memories - what about me?
Throw me through a window for watching TV
Where did I get this anger? Where did I get this hate?
And where did I get my temper? Now I'm gonna show my faith
Never will I be like you
Fuck that bullshit, I'm staying true, my family!
True to my family...
True to my family...
I'm true to my family...
[Chorus]
True to my family!
Stay true!
True to my family!
Stay true! Stay true!
I don't need it, I don't want it (True to my family!)
Inside I'm bleeding, disappointed (Stay true!)
All these lies, these fucking lies (True to my family!)
I'm hypnotized by your fucking mind
[Chorus]
True to my family!
True!
True to my family!
Stay true! Stay true!
All these lies in my mind (True to my family!)
All these lies in my mind (Stay true!)
All these lies, your fucking lies (True to my family!)
All these lies, now I lost my fucking mind (Stay true, stay true!)
[Outro]
I can't seem to erase the stain...
In my brain, things will never be the same...
I remember all the lies...
Fucked up, now I realize...
Never will I be like you
Mother, mother I'm stayin' true!
Father, whoever you are
Beat my mother down, all I see is scars
And memories, what about me
Threw me through the window for watching TV
Where did I get this anger? Where did I get this hate?
And where did I get my temper? Now I'm gonna show my faith
Never will I be like you, father!
Fuck that bullshit, I'm staying true, father!
Never will I be like you! Never will I be like you!
Never will I be like you! Never will I be like you!
