YOU MADE ME THIS WAY

Born to a mother who wasn't even ready

And a father who took off in an American Chevy

Bills pilin' up until it breaches the levee

No one there to teach me where to reach when everything's heavy

My stepfather resents me, takin' all my mother's time

All my friends live outta town 'cause I met them online

Feels like the whole world forgets me, so I'm goin' down in history

Better get down on the ground quickly, or I'm bringin' you down with me

I'm all the way, I'm all the way undone

I am all the way, I'm all the way undone

You made, you made me this way

You made, you made me this way

I was born in a country that only thought I mattered

When I was an embryonic sack of cells beside my mother's bladder

Showed up too early, government services scattered

Shoulda been the best day of her life, but my mother was shattered

'Cause when you need a roof and a place to sleep

And you got a new mouth to feed

You'd do just about anything

Yeah, so I react 'cause this place don't love me back

Republican or democrat

You get stabbed from the front, or you get stabbed from the back

I'm all the way, I'm all the way undone

I am all the way, I'm all the way undone

You made, you made me this way

You made, you made me this way

Go

Go, go

Died in a country that seems to think it's good

To put police in the community who ain't from the neighborhood

Live a constant contradiction

Put a fetus on a throne like he's Jesus

Then, when he meets us, I guess he's on his own

Put the coast and the ocean up for sale, first, lock you up, raise the bail

Make money off of these chemicals as we overdose off fentanyl

Ban a woman's right to choose, but at the gun show there's nothin' they can do

So I guess this shootout in the street was the only way that I'd find my peace

Still say I'm a problem, not a symptom

But it's a symbiotic system

I'm a martyr, I'm a victim

And my heart beats with the kick drum

Close my eyes, I see the light

I'll no longer be denied

Now everybody run 'cause the kid has got the gun

And he's all the way undone

Go

Go, go

I'm all the way, I'm all the way undone

I am all the way, I'm all the way undone
