Born Dead

Yeah

They tried to lay me down

But you can’t kill

What was never alive

You can’t kill me, I’m born dead

Heart cold steel in my chest, that’s lead

Walk through fire with a calm in my head

You can’t kill me

You can’t kill me, I’m born dead

You can’t break what already fell

Turn my own scars to a suit of shell

Hell got a room, but I never quite bled

You can’t kill me

You can’t kill me, I’m born dead (yeah)

I was raised on the edge of a bad idea

Hands in the sink, blood circlin’ with the tears

Mama in the kitchen, prayin’ loud to the air

Daddy in the street, same clothes, same year

Every bill late, every plate half-clean

I was eatin’ on anger, growin’ tall on the heat

Learned early, if I fall then I fall on my feet

Life hit me in the jaw, I just tightened my teeth (grr)

You can’t kill me, I’m born dead

Heart cold steel in my chest, that’s lead

Walk through fire with a calm in my head

You can’t kill me

You can’t kill me, I’m born dead

You can’t break what already fell

Turn my own scars to a suit of shell

Hell got a room, but I never quite bled

You can’t kill me

You can’t kill me, I’m born dead

I done slept in a car with the seat laid back

Woke up to a cop with a light in my lap

He said, “Boy, you a case just waitin’ to crack”

I said, “Sir, I’m a ghost that you’ll never quite catch” (ha)

Seen friends turn foes over food and a name

Seen blood on the floor, everybody say “game”

If the reaper wanna dance, I’ma step in his lane

‘Cause I died in my mind ‘fore I ever felt pain

You can’t kill me, I’m born dead

Heart cold steel in my chest, that’s lead

Walk through fire with a calm in my head

You can’t kill me

You can’t kill me, I’m born dead

You can’t break what already fell

Turn my own scars to a suit of shell

Hell got a room, but I never quite bled

You can’t kill me

You can’t kill me, I’m born dead
