A Good Man Lyrics

Dad and Mom

Raised the perfect Son

I never caused no trouble

For anyone

But things all changed

When Dad died too young

Me and Mom left on our own

No time to play

I had to grow up fast

Momma tried her best

She wasn't built to last

I'll get an honest job

Stay on a righteous path

If you're watching

I'll make you proud

I played the game

Gave it all for something more

I couldn't find a window

Between all the slamming doors

I tried so hard

To be A Good Man

I followed every rule

Turned my cheek to every hand

I gave it all

Trying to be A Good Man

Desperate times

Desperate measures

Slowly changing who I am

No more delusions

Dead is dead

No ones watching me

If I cut down just a few weak men

I know I can succeed

No more excuses

Dog eat dog

This world doesn't care

A lie

A hack

A knife

A back

I feed my need to rise in power

No remorse

Relentless

Focused

Lethal force

I'll cut down anyone impeding my progress

Plots and schemes

Lost in extremes

I'll reach the peak

I'll do whatever it takes to reach the top

Yeah

I'll break the game

Taking all I want and more

Piece by piece eroding

No trace of who I was before

I'll gain the world

I'm not A Good Man

Disconnection

No emotion

Laser focused on the plan

I'll sell my soul

I'm not A Good Man

Rich with golden empty treasures

Is this all that I am

Momma fell ill

I can't look at you this way

Throw money at it

A home will be fine

They'll take good care of you

If I get a minute

Maybe I'll visit

I know I'm lying

As you're slowly dying

Missing the point

I just turn my back

And leave us both alone

I lost the boy who longed

To be A Good Man

Struck down by blind ambition

This was not the plan

I gained the world

I killed the Good Man

I'm unworthy of redemption

Too late to change who I am
