You won't see them tellin' lies
See the trouble, see the trials that surround me
It's one thing time can't erase
Another catch, another chase
Oh, God knows that I've tried
Oh, I'm filled with the lies
Now that all my hope is gone
Like some disembodied voice
Ain't got nothing to rejoice
Oh, the end's in my sight
Oh, don't matter who's right
If you could see the things I've seen
Do what I've done, be where I've been
Then you could feel the pain I feel
I won't give in, I will never yield
These battle scars state my case
Just try and knock me down
I'm a king without a crown
Out of my way, I'm taking ground
