lyrics

Ain’t No Lie

V1
It was one for the money, and two for the show,
It was a long time coming and set to go.

In a decent time, it’d have been a shame
But, they shot me down, I’d have done the same

Murdered with a lie sitting at your desk.
Blood gushing out of my head and my chest

And they said it was business not personal
And that’s just how it is in the modern world

Chorus
Ain't no lie, ain't no lie
By the gun I lived, by the gun I died
Ain't no lie, ain't no lie
They get their money bye and bye

V2
Born into a creed on to the killing floor.
It’s like we didn’t see the blood spill anymore.

We took our money, and our made a good run, and with god on our side, we fought and won

Now the rules of the game are pushed and bent
But we learned real young just to forget

And they said it was business not personal
And that’s just how it is in the modern world

Chorus
Ain't no lie, ain't no lie
By the gun I lived, by the gun I died
Ain't no lie, ain't no lie
They get their money bye and bye

V3
Another folk song, the same as the last. Ain’t no difference from the future and the past.

Another folks song, and it ends the same
23 holes in my body and my brain

Cause there aint no heroes, marters or saints
Just collateral damage to the pawns in the game

And they said it was business not personal
And that’s just how it is in the modern world

Chorus
Ain't no lie, ain't no lie
By the gun I lived, by the gun I died
Ain't no lie, ain't no lie
They get their money bye and bye
