Verse 1 
Black boots, red cup 
Brown liquor, no suds 
Some bad motherfuckers just rolled up 
Yeah 
Firecracker, short fuse 
I pulled the plug out on you like a corkscrew 
No limit, no curfew 
Yeah 

Chorus 
To get everything I wanted in this lifetime 
I had to put my beliefs on the front line 
In every song that I sing 
It's always been you and me 
Tell my baby it'll be another late night 
I left work eight hours after midnight 
No breaks, no sleep 
And it's always been you and me 

Post-Chorus 
You know it's always been you and me 

Verse 2 
Long money, no short change 
You're still hatin', poor thing 
Middle fingers up, tell you one more thing 
Yeah 
Ya can't hear me, let me dumb it down 
I'm slum by nature from a small town 
We tote guns by nature, no showin' out 
Yeah 

Chorus 
To get everything I wanted in this lifetime 
I had to put my beliefs on the front line 
In every song that I sing 
It's always been you and me 
Tell my baby it'll be another late night 
I left work eight hours after midnight 
No breaks, no sleep 
And it's always been you and me 

Verse 3
Like a raven over the grave, I get lost over the page
I'm in tune with my spirit, doing shrooms, trip for days
Eighteen with the plats, in the projects with the raps
White boy with the blacks, from the sticks, I crossed the tracks
Rock and roll, rolling stone, daddy left his pistol home
Load it up, shooting bottles off the porch to his songs
I was troubled, I was hurt and it bubbled to the surface
Took it out on writing songs, put that seed up under the dirt
God gave me water (Bless,) two sons and one daughter (Bless)
I prayed and prayed harder (Now I) work hard and play harder, I
Visualize, put thumbtacks over outlines
And when they said I was out of my mind I put more goals in the pipeline, this is my time

Chorus
To get everything I wanted in this lifetime
I had to put my beliefs on the front line
In every song that I sing
It's always been you and me
Tell my baby it'll be another late night
I left work eight hours after midnight
No breaks, no sleep
And it's always been you and me

Outro
You know it's always been you and me
You know it's always been you and me
