Write About Us

[Verse 1: David Gunn]

I hail from a place where nobody wants to come

Because you better bring a gun and you better not run

And I grew up with the pushers and the killers and the thieves

But some students and some artists and some workers knew me

And we all had that in common and we had this place

And we’d grow up to be dead because our city breeds hate

And the only way to beat it is to run I mean

Because the shots keep us awake so we never can dream

(pre chorus)

And they whispered unto me write down what you've seen

So the world knows our story and were finally free

[Chorus]

They said we need it right and you’re the only one we trust

So promise that you’ll write about us

[Verse 2: David Gunn]

Girls want me to write about sneaking through their windows

And the drive ins and the parks and the nights by the lake

And the boys want me to write about sneaking through windows

And the fights and the shootouts

When we caught that case

And we were on our own and we never came home

And it was us and the night and we made the most

(pre chorus)

If you ever make it out write down what you've seen

So we all live forever and were finally free

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: David Gunn]

So tonight I sat down and pulled my head out the clouds

And I closed my eyes and I thought out loud

I haven’t seen Veronica since I told her how I felt

And the twins OD'ed

And Sarah sells herself

Maxine’s on the needle

Kelly’s man cuts her up

I see Kristy where she works and she don’t bring the past up

Heathers had a few kids and I still see her around but I can’t bring myself to speak to her I just look down

Daniel I’ll get your killer and I swear by that

When I see your kids face I wish I were where you’re at

Tasha escaped yeah she moved out of state

Opies still in prison for that murder in 98

Jays in the cage until 2025

And D went in but he ain't come out alive

Joshua's dead I held his head while he bled

And I found... body and I’ll love her till I’m dead

(pre chorus)

[Chorus]
