Lyrics

[Verse 1: Struggle Jennings] Uh, daddy wasn't home, momma raised a thug The life I gravitated towards she never did indulge But she never judged, her love was unconditional Probation conditional, evidence admissible Tears on her ivory keys, glory in the lyrics Singin' Gods praise to anybody who could hear it The end she doesn't fear it, words written in red Pain weighs her down, but the girl liftin' her head Son chasin' bread, searchin' for some soul food When she preaches come, he says "I'm in no mood" Carnivore, never satisfied by tofu Wild eyes blind to what he 'bout to go through [Chorus: Yelawolf] Livin' on a prayer, got a pocket full of stones One day you're here, the next day you're gone Wild eyes (Wild eyes), Wild eyes (Wild eyes) Livin' on a prayer, me against the world Momma's boy chasin' the devil's little girl Wild eyes (Wild eyes), Wild eyes (Wild eyes) [Verse 2: Struggle Jennings] I'm borrowed time, livin' off momma's prayers The only one to ever see through all his rugged layers Nobody really cares, bangin' me against the world At the bottom of the black sea, fishin' for a pearl Listen to the words, missin' all the meanings Deal going down, should probably sit it out this evenin' Devil on his shoulder, he gotta hit this lick This what you been waitin' on, and after this you can quit Butterfly's got him sick, somethin' don't seem kosher Cops or the robbers go with or without the toaster Now verdicts on the poster, candles burnin' blue Wild eyes blind to what he's 'bout to go through [Chorus] Livin' on a prayer, got a pocket full of stones One day you're here, the next day you're gone Wild eyes (Wild eyes), Wild eyes (Wild eyes) Livin' on a prayer, me against the world Momma's boy chasin' the devil's little girl Wild eyes (Wild eyes), Wild eyes (Wild eyes) [Verse 3: Struggle Jennings] Pull in to the parkin' lot, dash full of cash Homie in the back, killer in the stash Shawty actin' funny, she don't even count the money Then she strikes off runnin', right then he see it comin' Blue lights, black vests, everything is slow-mo Hands in the air, throw them keys out the window Karma from his past is catchin' up with his ass Then he laughs as his momma says "This too shall pass" Handcuffs click, prison doors shut Judge looks down and says 57 months His kingdom disappears, a lot of friends follow suit His wild eyes open and he finally see the truth [Chorus] Livin' on a prayer, got a pocket full of stones One day you're here, the next day you're gone Wild eyes (Wild eyes), Wild eyes (Wild eyes) Livin' on a prayer, me against the world Momma's boy chasin' the devil's little girl Wild eyes (Wild eyes), Wild eyes (Wild eyes)
