Donnie Brasco Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I promise you from this moment on I will strive
To be the one thing you hate, but will love unconditionally
I wish you happiness in hell

[Verse 2]
This song's for you
All of you who said they'll fade out
Then you turn around and say that you're proud
Run home and tell everyone you know we know you're fake

[Bridge 1]
There are no turning back the hands, your words have been heard by all
You said all you had to say, so with that said, pick it up, go

[Verse 3]
You have to run faster than that, 'cause it's kill or be killed
And you're all out of gas
I've said this once and I'll say it again
You go in alive, you come out dead
And it's your best friend that does it

[Chorus 1]
Respect is everything, if you're willing to lose your life for it
You only get one chance to be someone

[Verse 4]
With all I have, I'll scream so that you may hear and wake trembling
And you won't know if you are alive, but you will wish you're dead
Sacrifice yourself, condemned to waking on a bed of blades
With every drop of blood that falls from you, I'll cry
Condemned to waiting for a better day
Where every road you take leads you further from the sky

[Chorus 2]
Respect is everything
Are you willing to die to get the chance
To become the one thing that everyone wants to be
But very few will get to see

[Bridge 2]
And when it's all said and done and everyone is gone
You'll be left with a life that's worthless

[Outro]
This isn't over yet
It's just beginning
This isn't over yet
It's just beginning
