[Verse 1: Doug "SA" Martinez]
Here comes the thunder down under, we're natural wonders
Night falls, when we leave all you feel is the hunger
Surprises, people of all shapes and sizes
Dig on the decade and realize it's funky
No matter, this rude boy still got that swagger
My ears have heard all these crews, but we're badder
Interracial, special, positive beings
I am, I be a cool awakening

[Pre-Chorus 1: Doug "SA" Martinez]
It's gettin' hectic, the metrics, the body electric
Everybody in worn out blue jeans or tacky dresses
This is the city we've reached, we've come to
Go unrecognized on the corner or make moves
All the lights are red, all the poets dead
A familiar nightmare appears in my head
Times are changin', myself I'm rearrangin
Dream eight-thousand-five-twelve all blazin'

[Chorus: Nick Hexum, Doug "SA" Martinez]
(Born to act out) Paranoid with a gat
(Born to act out) Think you know where it's at
(Born to act out) But you're lookin' like a sissy
(Born to act out) Guns are for pussies
(Born to act out) Paranoid with a gat
(Born to act out) Think you know where it's at
(Born to act out) But you're lookin' like a sissy
(Born to act out) Guns are for pussies
[Verse 2: Nick Hexum]
I'm not from Philly but some say I'm blunt
That's just the way I am, and no, I'm not gonna front
And yes I took a trip to find out about the ways of big city
Seedy bars and drugs that make you feel shitty, pretty
Older women in skirts conversation frisky
Stinkin' cigarettes and plenty of bourbon whiskey
Sad classic music on the jukebox of doom
Hollywood Boulevard, barfly, Frolic Room

[Pre-Chorus 2: Nick Hexum]
Tomb of lost souls, some beyond salvage
Some just havin' fun opening the steam valvage
I was one becomin' the other, hellbent to discover
Had to pull up the reigns or else smother, take it, brother
All the way and then you're scared, don't want to be unprepared
You're getting paranoid and then guns are shared
You guys think that you're hard but you're in fear of being harmed
I fear no man and I'm unarmed

[Chorus: Nick Hexum, Doug "SA" Martinez]
(Born to act out) Paranoid with a gat
(Born to act out) Think you know where it's at
(Born to act out) But you're lookin' like a sissy
(Born to act out) Guns are for pussies
(Born to act out) Paranoid with a gat
(Born to act out) Think you know where it's at
(Born to act out) But you're lookin' like a sissy
(Born to act out) Guns are for pussies
[Outro: Nick Hexum]
Come on
