December 14th 1988, that was day/ Thats was the day that it all changed and they knew that it never be the same/ Tracey marie and michael leon had a beautiful baby boy, what was his name/ Something like sean michael leon his name it came with a legacy of dreams chasing till the day its claimed/ And they barely knew eachother but the love for this child and one another they created a home together to raise him/ And gave him 3 wonderful brothers a sister father and mother and cover to keep him warm when it was raining/ And they all shared love and they all shared pain in a broke down house infested with roaches spraying raid and/ They never had a lot of things but what they had was love and blessings from up above so no matter how bad it got they knew theyd make it/ But the second he left from it tho, he would feel cold, up in the world all alone/ In school he never fit in with other kids he would just play on his own/ They said was strange said he was weird, said that he didn't belong/ They called him an alien, said he was not from the planet and he should go home/ But the words didnt hurt, no , not nearly as much as the sticks and the stones/ The bricks to his bones, the fist to his lips when they stick him in lockers the kicks to his dome/ So when he grew old he grew cold angry and hiding a fire inside That would burn him alive/ trying to die Laying in bed at night crying to skies/ that where suddenly empty god wasn't when the devil was through/ Maybe he had something better due, but it became obviouse heavens deluge/ Stuck in this position and he needed a physical fix and this isnt some fiction/ So fast he would take up a passion and that was a mission to give some shit thats worth listening to/ Imma get its a promise honest on this very moment imma go in showing everybody what time it is/ Clear up my sinuses allergic to bullshit spitting spinning a web like im spiderman on his vitamans/ Micheal on vikadin still performing and fighting it im fighter writer igniter of life im lighter than nitrogen / And im Ascending and blending in this unendingness metaphysical spiritual cosmic beautiful life where in/ Yeah And im admiring the view looking for the truth doing what i do its a hazmat/ The sad facts of a bad rap going with the flow on yellow brock road rocking a backpack/ Never sleep but taking mad naps cuz i'm dream chasing and imma get mother fucker im mad max/ Remember who struck first so you have that but im gonna have the last laugh/

Verse1 Let me tell you a little story about me, and the place I'm from/ where no ones ever wrong, so everyones gotta yell over everyone and nothing really ever gets done/ 9Years old with them headphones on turned up to the max, let the cd spin/ And hope to heaven that non of these loud shouts, from the bouts outside get in/ Cause, He's an asshole and she never does anything right, He's a dick she's a bitch so they scream and they fight/ all night, and i just sit by myself praying that this song in my headphones takes me away/ into a place where they never hit the kids, to place where you talk and they're listening/ to a place where i finally feel safe no marks on my face from a belt or a fist and it's/ Just another long day though, just another long day decades away from the days/ when i was sick and tired, fed up from the negative energy radiating from this house of pain/ and now i'm finally grown, and nothing ever changes, everything just stays the same/ thats why i never go home, why i gotta steal the show, oceans eleven when i take the stage/ thats why i loose my mind when the spotlight hits, in case you where wondering how it got like this/ in case you where wondering why i just can't stay, guess it's right that i left, cause i'm not righteous/ no i'm not righteous, i was raised with them jungle cats, where i'm from we aint raise no chumps/ so imma raise hell like the devil himself until this whole cord jumps/ lets go Chorus And i'm sick of all the shouting it's the same old thing Caught up in this vicious circle this is yin and yang the this you said to me, the way you yell at me i couldn't take it suffocated by your energy and it brings me down, down down 3x and it brings me down, and it brings me down Verse2 Close your eyes and cover your ears, thats my advise to anyone of my peers/ Don't let it penetrate your body and soul, don't ever let yourself give into the fear/ Don't ever let the negativity inside you, define you, find truth, even thick skin gets pierced/ The good die young, the weak won't make it, the strong set sail when them waves get fierce/ So i wanna see you raise that anchor, like poppy with his arms raised in anger, keep it saved for later/ So the next time when you feel like giving up drop it, swallow your pride with some spinach and go and pick it up/ They said you'd always be the last one picked, they want to see you fall down keep slipping up/ And Being underdog bites, but every dog has his day, and underdog was a hero baby so live it up/ So get up and show them you can stand, on your own let 'em know your a new man damn/ They told me no, told me that i would make it, but i made it this far that means you can and/ if they say no, then your probably on the right track, just follow the no's like toucan sam/ cause two can dance the tango, but dammit it takes one just to fight for your life like two van dams/ try to double team the order in this knock off blood sport, and when it's getting to you/ Just tell them you ain't a replicant and in the wake of death you can, pass the exam, and let them know you ain't expandable two/ Ha, Im Just telling the truth, with seven different references to tell you how to fight survive/ inside a house where the scream and they shout and they told you, you would never make it out alive/ but we're still right here Chorus Bridge The Casablanca Lily, And the Dutchmans pipe Two different flowers, that learned to bloom at night/ And if two different flowers, can bloom without the sunlight/ then no matter where you are or where your from, you can become anything you like/ Chorus 2x
