- man, what the fuck is wrong with you
- taking candy from a baby then braggin to your friends
- who don't think you're funny but they want to fit in
- so they open their mouths and bare their grins
- what a damn shame you'll never repent these sins
- born with your fathers name
- and he was a good man
- a blue collar worker with dirt on his hands
- he had a dream and a will so he found a way
- which is why you're driving that nice car today
- sixteen years old already a disgrace
- but you're bound by blood so he tilts his face
- away and closes his eyes
- to dream of a different place in a different time
- when things felt simpler although life was rough
- nothing really mattered as long as he survived
- not living to please or to provide
- simply trying to abide
- with the ways of life
- fuck bitches get money is what they say nowadays
- fools with false confidence in their ignorant ways
- you'd be surprised by the effects
- of simply showing some respect
- to a dame who's name you don't want to forget
- they say look with your eyes and listen with your ears
- too bad they never teach you how to see or hear
- sheltered from the world since the day you were born
- you've never had to face another man's scorn
- coasting through life without a game plan
- just a helpless little boy in the body of a man
- you rap about nerds and everybody's favorite herb
- calling yourself the next great
- sittin on the curb of your fathers estate
- reflecting on the day, wondering why
- you're too afraid to even try
- afraid of failure you've failed already
- you realize you're never gonna be anybody
- that feeling of regret swells up inside
- unable to forget the years behind
- one mistake that cost a man his life
- quick like the sharp blade of a knife
- a lesson that must be learned the hard way
- now stuck in a cell block for the rest of your days
- so much potential so hard to forget
- too bad you never learned the art of respect
- a sense of entitlement fit for a king
- but without the means to please any queen
- life is hard and time flies quick
- so zip up your pants and flick your bic
- prepare for the day or be left behind
- as your father used to say
- but you never listened anyways
