I can't believe family could be so savage
Swore to me I was free then took advantage

I know you thought it was a sad song
But this shit is an anthem
Had me doin' tricks like a side show

It's clear to me now that I was your survival
All your excuses are dead on arrival
You say it's the truth but my blood is my Bible
And I'm finally cuttin' the strings, yeah

'Cause I'm stripped bare, I got nothin' left
Stripped bare, I got nothin' left
Stripped bare, I got nothin' left
And I'm finally cuttin' the strings, yeah

Born a slave to the rhythm
But I'll never be a victim
Get rich quick like an outlaw
Then blindside with a southpaw

Stay, stay, how could I stay, day after day
Steal my story with a straight face
Oh, how's that taste?

It's clear to me now that I was your survival
All your excuses are dead on arrival
You say it's the truth but my blood is my Bible
And I'm finally cuttin' the strings, yeah

'Cause I'm stripped bare, I got nothin' left
Stripped bare, I got nothin' left
Stripped bare, I got nothin' left
And I'm finally cuttin' the strings, yeah

I've heard that it happens
You feed the young to the wolf like nothin' else matters
Well I ain't got nothin' left
And I'm finally cuttin' the strings, yeah
