Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, baby, I was born
With a fast fuse
I got no time to love
Just a city to abuse
[Verse 2]
Oh, baby, I was born
With a fast fuse
I got no time to love
Just a city to abuse
[Verse 3]
Oh, come get me
With your files, don't arrest me
Well, I'm Lucifer's child
Wild, acid, done
Black sunglasses
Shade the morning sun
[Verse 4]
And come get me
All you fuckers can't touch me
I'm the hooligan choir, sire
Sit, don't scatter
It don't matter
Get me, one, two, three
[Verse 5]
Gold lightning in the skyline
Gold lightning in the sky
[Verse 6]
Oh, baby, I was born
With a fast fuse
I got no time to love
Just a city to abuse
[Verse 7]
Oh, baby, I was born
With a fast fuse
I got no time to love
Just a city to abuse
[Verse 8]
Vultures circle 'round
They wait above the ground
[Verse 9]
Oh, how dare you
Now it's time to address you
I'm the reason you came
Shame, stroke my mane
See my fist chopping up your reign
It's getting hotter
Now I'm spitting out lava
I'm the Spaniard in the works
Jerks, genuine stock
Hear that bomb going tick, tick, tock
[Verse 10]
Gold lightning in the skyline
Gold lightning in the sky
Gold lightning in the skyline
Gold lightning in the sky
[Verse 11]
Oh, baby, I was born
With a fast fuse
I got no time to love
Just a city to abuse
[Verse 12]
In the middle of the night
When they come for you
Where you gonna be?
What you gonna do?
[Verse 13]
Heaven may come and Heaven may call
But I won't be there
Hey, hey, hey
Heaven may come and Heaven may call
But I won't be there
Hey, hey, hey
Heaven may come and Heaven may call
But I won't be there
Hey, hey, hey
Heaven may come and Heaven may call
But I won't be there
Hey, hey, hey
