Justify Lyrics
I met a man in New Orleans wore a half suit with dark blue jeans
Kicked his heals together winked at me real nice.
I saw him from a mile away,
But in my state of mind I let him make his play
“Hey boy… have you seen the other side”
Yeah…in this man I saw the devil's hand so I looked at him man to man said
“This time it’s gonna be a fight!”
I do not have to justify,
The way I live my life.
I do not have to justify,
The reason I’m alive.
I saw her from across the room with diamond eyes she’s heaven’s jewel.
Dropped two aces smiled and threw my cards back.
Yeah I’ve been that man
Who lives deceit
Surrounds himself with worldly things.
So let me tell you a story
Let me feed it to you
We fly around like we were superman live in another trance
a different way to dance with dark romance
you get another chance to do that dirty dance without consequence.
I do not have to justify,
The way I live my life.
I do not have to justify,
The reason I’m alive.
Let me change the timber of this section
Add a little booze to ice
I guess you probably noticed
I’ve been living a double life
So fly around like you are superman given another chance
a different way to dance with true romance
you get another chance to tell your dirty, darkest secrets.
We fly around like we were superman live in another trance different way to dance with dark romance you get another chance to do the dirty dance without consequence.
I do not have to justify,
The way I live my life.
I do not have to justify,
The reason I’m alive.
No more.
It’s just not me.
Not me.
I’m just like you.
Kicked his heals together winked at me real nice.
I saw him from a mile away,
But in my state of mind I let him make his play
“Hey boy… have you seen the other side”
Yeah…in this man I saw the devil's hand so I looked at him man to man said
“This time it’s gonna be a fight!”
The way I live my life.
I do not have to justify,
The reason I’m alive.
Dropped two aces smiled and threw my cards back.
Yeah I’ve been that man
Who lives deceit
Surrounds himself with worldly things.
Let me feed it to you
a different way to dance with dark romance
you get another chance to do that dirty dance without consequence.
The way I live my life.
I do not have to justify,
The reason I’m alive.
Add a little booze to ice
I guess you probably noticed
I’ve been living a double life
a different way to dance with true romance
you get another chance to tell your dirty, darkest secrets.
The way I live my life.
I do not have to justify,
The reason I’m alive.
It’s just not me.
Not me.
I’m just like you.

This is an awesome song. It's about how (as he says in the song) Stapp was living a double life, but he's free of that now, and he no longer has to justify how he lives. Reason is a whore.
This song is a response to all of the people who criticize Stapp's lifestyle. Yes, he did have his problems, and as he says, he's just like yoy. FDR had problems of his own and not many people deny that he was a great man. Stapp doesn't need to explain his actions to you just like you don't need to justify your actions to him.
