The Turn

I don't read, yeah, I just guess
 As the world turns
 Don't bring me with your mess
 I'm trying to do my best
 Get my head up out the stress
 When the money turns the world
 Your lovin' turns to less
 I learn by mistakes, most of it is yours
 And I'm done living life as a criminal
 And I thought I'd die young just to please the old
 Now I teach the young, I'm vitriol
 ♪
 I'd rather go on, go up and down
 And turn myself all around then to stay down
 I'd rather go on, go up and down
 And turn myself all around then to stay down
 ♪
 The war in me makes a warrior
 Like a pitbull gettin' with a terrier
 I'm better off in North Korea
 Yeah, droppin' from a barrel of a carrier
 'Cause I got enough to be more, it's hard enough to get more
 I shut the door on everything just to let my head blow
 I got enough to be more, it's hard enough to get more
 I shut the door on everything just to let my head blow

 I'd rather go on, go up and down
 And turn myself all around then to stay down
 I'd rather go on, go up and down
 And turn myself all around then to stay down

 Picture this, a dull grey street in the way
 Neon signs gonna shine though
 Shorty, you gonna shine though
 Come up on ya treasure trove like the sun explode
 Check up in the paper in the Mirror for ya horoscope
 Walking on a tightrope, go for something
 I don't even know where to get it from
 Sending out a signal
 Smoke from a gun blow
 Knock off, knock off things that I don't want
