About being knocked down, getting up again, and coming back better
than ever in the face of your enemies.

lyrics

"When I Return" (Allen Cox)

Living in death and poverty
Sick of starvation
A roof that leaks
You could care less
I want some more
The bare necessities
Are such a bore

Good at what I want
Just look and see
Don't turn your back
You're gonna hear me

Not just a dumbass
I have a mind
Just give a little
A little time
There might be something
That comes to be
I want to make my mark
In history

(Chorus)
Give me a chance
Give me a life
Give me direction
Draw me a line
Tell me your secrets
Give me what I've earned
You better look out
When I return

I live in death and poverty
Someone holds my balls
Decides for me
Time to rebel
Take back my life
I want to be free
I'll go get my life

No one famous here
No one knows my name
That's gonna change
I'm gonna catch fate
I'll make it out
Or I'll go insane
You won't take my life
I won't die in vein

(Chorus)

I live in death and poverty
They hold me down
I want to be free
Don't give me blahh
Just something to eat
Only death puts me down
I'll make it out

Gamble on my thoughts
Throw out the dice
I'm gonna take a slice
Out of the pie
What a surprise
It comes today
Stand down muthers
Clearing the way

(Chorus)

I live in death and poverty
You get it all
There's just scraps for me
One day you'll see
One day you'll know
Remember this face
Now I have to go
