i never really stopped to think

just how it all began

it seems to me my whole life

i've waited to be a man

people re-invent themselves

in many different ways

some of them found religion

i found out crime pays

[Chorus:]

I'm a rabid dog

and i'm on the make

and i've been kicked to many times

for the chances that i take

you know i don't have to tell you

most people are living lies

i can spot em a mile away

from the blackness in their eyes

i never really stopped to think

how much i've delt with pain

you can get blood from a stone

but that blood always stains
