Machine Gun Kelly - The Return lyrics

rate me

And they say they know me, get the fuck outta here.

Only God know what i've been thru man.

So if you want to talk

Get your facts straight first

And if you really want to know

Let me ask you something

Have you ever walked in the shoes of a giant

Or had the fill the position of a boss before you were even a client?

Its no wonder growing up under the roof of a tyrant

That I would be the poster boy for defiance

Now in the voice of the silence, fuck being quiet

I’ve seen twenty years worth of violence,

i'm tired it's a burden for me to open my eyelids

Not an under cover cop but it's safe to say that i'm wired.

I can’t even get a grip on my life with pliers, i'm fucked up in the head

Close my eyes ‘cause I see demons round my bed

So depressed, open em up, hopin i'm dead

thought the fame would make it better, but it only fucked me over.

never used to touch a bottle, now i'm hardly ever sober.

People want to be my friend,

But where the fuck were y'all when I was ten, eleven and twelve getting bullied and beat up in the gym.

I couldn’t never get a girl now all of a sudden i'm the man

students try to get back cool with me again

fuck em all.

because guess where theyre gunna be when my records stop playin

Gone with the wind off in the record shops saying that Kells fell off

I knew what would happen, stop hating

‘cause a month ago you was all over my jock sayin’

That I’m that mo-fucker, but now i'm wack mo-fucker?

opinons change but you cannot change facts mo-fucker

if you want bullet points then call me a gat mo-fucker

i'll lay my whole life out like a mat mo-fucker

and i've experienced some things that will stop you from eating

my schizofrenic cousin tried to end my life while i'm sleeping

my bummy uncle wanna call now that he's sees me succeeding

my momma left me for a teacher lost my dad to the preaching

half my friends are buried six feet all the rest in the precint

Litterally watched my grandmother die from diabetes

I guess my prayers were answered when aunt got cancer and beat it

now i wanna get her out of there give her the garden of eden.

I did a lot of bad shit

God got even but for the price I had to pay

i wish I'd stopped breathing

My girl sat in the bath tub 8 hours bleeding

Hearin the doctor tell us our child's heart stop beating.

Fuck a million, I wouldn’t take a dollar for a life

But I will do whats in my heart and trade this dollar for a mic.

I wrote this song in hopes that it could help someone get through the night

with no intention of getting paid, I’m doing what it’s right

I do it for the fans, no, the real fans

who stuck with me through the storm

‘cause they understand

That there's a genuine pain

Behind the words I’m sayin, and they embrace me

So I thank you all for stayin’

ain’t it crazy that passion is my achilles heel?

either that or keepin it way too real

But they don’t know how It feels

To feed off the energy of a crowd

step on stage And they get loud

And dad, Imma make you proud

I know we don’t speak right now

But I think turning new leaves what we need right now

I love you and you may not see right now

But I’m begging for forgiveness

I’m on my knees right now

You saw your son as a drop out stuck around when i ran

Saw your son as a felon

Now see your son is a man

See you son be a father, to a beautiful child

Or just see your son, dad and see me smile.

Who would have thought what started at the bottom would someday grow

From three people in the crowd, unpaid shows

Six people in the room, one meal a day

another opening act when no one knows my name

saw the demo's that I passed out layin on the ground

saw the rappers i be-friended copying my style

saw opportunites pass while these fakes got rich

Now I can’t stop speeding like brakes aint shit

for six months i went thru hell and back,

right at the hieght of my success all of a sudden doctor said i couldnt rap

i had a polyp on my vocal cords, left with a choice, stop now or possibly lose my voice

But I woke up every morning and recorded til my throat swelled shut

coughed blood after every show, because it hurt that much,

I went weeks without even sayin a word to myself

No health insurance so doctor bills piled on the shelf

but for my daugther and my fam and every single fan

I pushed through it and now i'm back for ya'll again

as for my competition this the beggining of the end

but right now this is my return, Amen

Kells
