Reign

When I was young, just under 21 I tore my town apart by emptying my loaded gun Into the atmosphere, catching bodies along the way And now the Lord can't help me, and there ain't no god to save A wretch like me A wretch like me A wretch like me My family is upset, but I'm still their baby boy Who's never gone nowhere alone, but now I ain't got no choice I'm going down, I'm going down I'm going down, down, down, I'm going down Oh, but I don't wanna go to hell No, I don't wanna go to hell But if the devil is a bully Then I guess I might as well still be alive And at the football games, everyone will know my name Won't matter if they're local, or they're in from outta state The innocent boy turned dangerous who went to the mall that day He grew up in the foothills He went to that mall to slay And like a bad dream, that feels so real That it can't be, but it is still And like a nightmare taken out of sleep It hits you in the morning like a newspaper at your feet My name will reign My name will reign My name will reign Cryin' on my mama's shoulders holdin' my daddy's hand Look into my sister's eyes, I know it's hard to understand That what I did, won't be forgiven And what I did, is neverending But look up at the school and tell me What do you see? There's something wrong with all of them There's nothing wrong with me My name will reign My name will reign My name will reign My name will reign My name will reign, reign My name will reign My name will reign, reign My name will reign My name will reign, reign My name will reign My name will reign, reign My name will reign When I was young, just under 21 I tore my town apart by emptying my loaded gun Into the atmosphere, catching bodies along the way And now the Lord can't help me, and there ain't no god to save A wretch like me
