Reign

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was young, just under 21 Tore my town apart by emptying my loaded gun Into the atmosphere, catching bodies along the way Now the Lord can't help me and there ain't no god to save A wretch like me, a wretch like me, a wretch like me [Verse 2] My family is upset but I'm still their baby boy Who's never gone nowhere alone, but now he ain't got no choice I'm goin' down, I'm going down Goin' down, down, down, goin' down Oh, but I don't wanna go to hell, no, I don't wanna go to hell If the devil is a bully, then I guess I might as well still be alive [Verse 3] And at the football games, everyone will know my name Won't matter if they're local, or they're in from out of state Innocent boy turned dangerous who went to the mall that day He grew up in the foothills, went to that mall to slay [Verse 4] And like a bad dream, that feels so real That it can't be, but it is still And like a nightmare taken out of sleep It hits you in the morning like a newspaper at your feet My name will reign, my name will reign, my name will reign [Verse 5] Cryin' on my mama's shoulders, holdin' my daddy's hand Look into my sister's eyes, I know it's hard to understand What I did won't be forgiven, and what I did is neverending Look up at the school and tell me, what do you see? There's something wrong with all of them, there's nothing wrong with me My name will reign, name will reign, my name will reign [Bridge] My name will reign, reign My name will reign My name will reign, reign My name will reign My name will reign, reign My name will reign My name will reign, reign My name will reign [Outro] When I was young, just under 21 Tore my town apart by emptying my loaded gun Into the atmosphere, catching bodies along the way Now the Lord can't help me and there ain't no god to save a wretch like me
