Once upon a time in an apartment home
Lived a little girl with a heart of stone
Cause part of her heart was partly gone

Rarely seen and hardly known
â?¦ like a map on a boxing â?¦
Blood drops stainsâ?¦

Daddy came to visit, it's not a dream
She thought to herself, what is happening
Above her head there's a crucifix

But Luciferâ?¦ what was missed
Lays her down with an open fist
And all that was left was hopelessness

Little girl, where's your loving mother, under the covers, under the covers
Little girl what have you discovered?
She â?¦


Growin' up in the gutter, no more, fairy tales and songs
No place like hell, no place like home

Growin' up in the gutter, black and white, in a frame
Dead we are, â?¦ guns, no aimâ?¦
Growin' up in the gutter


â?¦ project, to deal with this non-sense
Living this suburbia, someone will murder ya

Open up and leave your body..
Violence is a â?¦


But time is full of jobâ?¦shot in the process
Hussleâ?¦ he took the (*##$ to his apartmentâ?¦
Let him downâ?¦ used to â?¦ what you know of thatâ?¦

â?¦ my lyrics approved, growin' up in the gutter
You think you can define how hard you got it
â?¦ live in !@$@, $#&@ them


Growin' up in the gutter, no more, fairy tales and songs
No place like hell, no place like home

Growin' up in the gutter, black and white, in a frame
Dead we are, â?¦ guns, no aimâ?¦
Growin' up in the gutter


Slumber I can't â?¦ and â?¦
Was a child who wasâ?¦

I'ma go again at 8, somebody's life to wait
â?¦ a voice for the cold in the dark, I am
â?¦ a family torn apart, I am

â?¦ I saw they don't run from %#@!, I am
â?¦ dead cause the â?¦ I, am


Growin' up in the gutter, no more, fairy tales and songs
No place like hell, no place like home
Growin' up in the gutter, black and white, in a frame

Dead we are, â?¦ guns, no aimâ?¦
Growin' up in the gutter.
