Just Another Victim

Victimized
But you're in bed
Stumble out
And run dead

If it ever paid
To self-start
Environment
Make you smart

Just another victim
Just another victim
Just another victim, kid

I heard it once
But not before
Begging off
And livin' bored

My hands are tied
Webbed feet again
Fell in behind
And claim us dead

Just another victim
Just another victim, kid
Just another victim

Cast this
In spite of truth
Give it up
I'll lie to you

Blame and flame this
Turn it, start
Pointed finger
You fall apart

Just another victim
Just another victim
Just another victim
Just another victim

You played yourself
Now you're pointin' fingers
How I've robbed and raped ya
Bruised and scraped ya

But those are just lies
'Cause in your eyes
You've been victimized
It's how you size it up

You disguise it up
And try to make it look real
To cover up the low self esteem you feel

Introspection, an afterthought
Swimmin' in guilt's your favorite sport
But now you're caught up in the undertow
You never knew a man could sink so low

But now you know
'Cause you're John Doe
In a black bag
A tag on your toe

I built the house
I felt the pain
You're victimized
But got no one to blame

Just another victim
You're just another victim, kid
Just another victim
You're just another victim, kid

Holy diver, I'm a survivor
Feeling like De Niro in Taxi Driver
With Jodie Foster and Harvey Keitel
Looks like I'm walkin' through a livin' Hell

So spark that owl and I'll get lifted
Feelin' the effects of what my spliff did
'Cause I'm gifted

I read Sun Tzu
I bought a gun too, so you'll never come too
The weight of the world ridin' on my shoulders
'Cause I'm a soldier, I thought I told ya

You're just another victim
You're just another victim, kid
You're just another victim
You're just another victim, kid

You're just another victim
You're just another victim, kid
You're just another victim
You're just another victim, kid

Just another victim
Just another victim
Just another victim
Just another victim, kid
