lyrics

Every cheap hood makes his own choice,
picked me off a pile of misfit toys
Raising me up like I was your own,
giving me a place that I could call home
Holding me high, teaching me why, hiding me when the cops came by

So I just wanna say thanks for all that you did
For taking me in when I was a kid
You don’t have to be right, don’t dress like a bum
You’re good as they are, remember where you come from
Never making me feel like a secondhand kid

Giving up stuff that I know you liked,
doing your best for two kids and a wife
Never felt like I didn’t belong, I may not be right but you ain’t wrong
Setting me straight, keeping me late,
never quitting on me and letting me skate

And I just wanna say thanks for all that you did
For taking me in when I was a kid
You don’t have to be right, don’t dress like a bum
You’re good as they are, remember where you come from
Never making me feel like a secondhand kid

Making sure that I always felt part of the family right from the start
Showing me what it means to care, well I may be here but I’m not all there
Wish I got to see you again before you were gone

And I just wanna say thanks for all that you did
For taking me in when I was a kid
You don’t have to be right, don’t dress like a bum
You’re good as they are, remember where you come from
Never making me feel like a secondhand kid
Thanks for taking a chance on this secondhand kid

Red Die Number Nine Baltimore, Maryland

Combining the raw energy/aggression of hardcore with the rhythm/power of hard rock. It's a rage fueled juggernaut steaming down the rails of chemical imbalance right into yer brain pan. And it rhymes.
