i never really stopped to think    just how it all began   it seems to me my whole life    i've waited to be a man   people re-invent themselves    in many different ways   some of them found religion    i found out crime pays      [Chorus:]   I'm a rabid dog   and i'm on the make   and i've been kicked to many times   for the chances that i take      you know i don't have to tell you   most people are living lies   i can spot em a mile away   from the blackness in their eyes   i never really stopped to think    how much i've delt with pain   you can get blood from a stone   but that blood always stains
