Lyrics
Running to the beat of his life, afraid to go outside, another young boy found
never see him as a man picking up knives
now i know the reason why
in the streets last night
In the streets last night, gotta prove his brother was right Picking, and the hero sets a battle for the child
it tells another tale
i will never say good bye sticking up
Hears a sound beside the door, mother watching from the window
running through the beat of his life
and the hero sets a battle for the child
Better at picking up knives, now i know the reason why
I see the lights as they arrive, they re running with young blood
Better at picking up knives, but he got better at
Learning to graduate to picking up knives, there was beauty in his eyes picking up knives Picking, never see him as a man picking up knives
with the finding of the child
With the finding of the child, better at picking up knives
And she runs to it, what if he has crossed the line
running to the beat of his life
afraid to go outside
And the hero sets a battle for the child, his brother was hanging with the big crowd Room, what if he has crossed the line
Recently you know she s seen her baby change, funny how there s still no sign, his brother was hanging with the big crowd
gotta prove his brother was right
Running through the streets of his life, running to the beat of his life
and the water s running wild
Hears a sound beside the door, he had to prove his daddy was right
And the people hide, better at picking up knives, and the water s running wild
It s getting worse here day by day, it tells another tale
Better at picking up knives, never see him as a man picking up knives
It s getting worse here day by day, he wants to do his family proud
Never see him as a man picking up knives, but he got better at
hears a sound beside the door
There was beauty in his eyes picking up knives, hears a sound beside the door
Mother watching from the window, there was beauty in his eyes picking up knives
Recently you know she s seen her baby change, running through the streets of his life
They re running with young blood, never seen a harder man, afraid to go outside
another young boy found
Mother watching from the window, i will never say good bye sticking up Picking, and she runs to it
Now i know the reason why, with the finding of the child
hears a sound beside the door
and the people hide
better at picking up knives
And he ll learn the tricks of the night, running to the beat of his life
better at picking up knives
Have you seen the streets, and the water s running wild
recently you know she s seen her baby change
With the finding of the child, his brother was hanging with the big crowd
Picking up knives, never seen a harder man Panic, funny how there s still no sign
they re running with young blood
Never see him as a man picking up knives, never seen a harder man up, waiting for all the night
And she runs to it, i will never say good bye sticking up, she sees her little boy once more
It tells another tale, it tells another tale, mother watching from the window
And she runs to it, now i know the reason why
