Well I've paid my dues, And I've suffered
through, But I've seen both coasts, So much more
than most, And I'll have done to know in spite of
you, And all I've done in spite of you. I've bent
some rules, And I've broke a few, But I know I'm
living my life, It's true, But second best is
sickening but soon.... And when I made the fist,
It stole my youth, And when I made the fist, It
stole my youth, But I walked the streets of
Richmond my whole life through, And I'll I've
done to know in spite of you, And when I made the
fist, It stole my youth, And when I made the fist,
It stole my youth. And I've been stuck in a
corner, Not knowing what I've done, I was lost in
the darkness, But blinded by the sun, My broken
back is stiff and swollen and bruised, My broken
back is stiff and swollen and bruised, I've seen
roads less traveled, And followed every one, I've
seen all four corners, Not liking anyone, All I've
done in spite of you. And when I made the fist, It
stole my youth, And when I made the fist, It stole
my youth, But I walked the streets of Richmond my
whole life through, And I'll I've done to know in
spite of you, And when I made the fist, It stole
my youth, And when I made the fist, It stole my
youth. And when I made the fist, It stole my
youth, And when I made the fist, It stole my
youth, But I walked the streets of Richmond my
whole life through, And I'll I've done to know in
spite of you, And when I made the fist, It stole
my youth, And when I made the fist, It stole my
youth, And when I made the fist, It stole my
youth.
