Cost of Lifer Lyrics

Cost of lifer all in doubt
She's had a baby but it's not mine
She's driven now

Cost of the lifer counting days
I hate this place and I want to escape it now
Who's feeding them?
Who pours gravy onto plate?
Who plays dad in the house that I helped make?
I'm livid now

A murderous kite has flown my way
This is the end and I want to escape it now
I'm driven now

Six by six and a crackpot caveman
Come of age
I'm caged
Untrained man
I loved you and I wished you in my hand

Given a stake in this boy's life
Sorry to say but I made my grave
I'm with him now

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
