Handguns - Queens lyrics

rate me

Born in the city, we used to play in the streets

I was taught to steal for myself and let some crooks run free

People tell me I look like my dad

But I haven’t fought enough men to match the guts that he had

A bastard of Queens

These streets have always called to me

I’m not afraid of being punched in the face

Just the seconds before

Because I hate that I can’t see the future

I’m not afraid of being jumped at midnight

Because I’d force my ghost to follow them home for a fight

Mile high, energy ride

I’m fighting the actual thief tonight

Forced up on the wall

Been looking for answers we knew he wouldn’t give us at all

A bastard of Queens

These streets have always called to me

I’m not afraid of being punched in the face

Just the seconds before

Because I hate that I can’t see the future

I’m not afraid of being jumped at midnight

Because I’d force my ghost to follow them home for a fight

A bastard of Queens

It took a drive though his old neighborhood

Listening to all of his stories

To teach me the kind of man I want to be

I’m not afraid of being punched in the face

Just the seconds before

Because I hate that I can’t see the future

I’m not afraid of being jumped at midnight

Because I’d force my ghost to follow them home for a fight

A bastard of Queens

These streets have always called to me

I’m not afraid of being punched in the face

Just the seconds before

Because I hate that I can’t see the future

I’m not afraid of being jumped at midnight

Because I’d force my ghost to follow them home for a fight
