[Verse 1]
|
Everybody up!
|
Let me introduce to you
|
A man that you heard of and you thought you knew
|
But give me a couple of seconds just to prove to you
|
You never did, but let me give you a chance to
|
I used to swear everybody had it in for me
|
People only wanted to talk to spit on me
|
So I'd paint pictures, draw a little bit
|
And every time I was pissed off at some kid
|
I'd get home and draw a little sketch
|
Of any kid I hated with a knife in the neck
|
A pencil in the eye and a hole in the back
|
I had a back pack of six sketches like that
|
And over time people started to see
|
The pictures that I made, made a lot of sense to me
|
But it never ready made much of a difference
|
They still talk shit, but not at close distance
|
And that sucked cause all I wanted to have
|
Was a little attention with the good and bad
|
But over time I got sick of trying
|
And kept making them pictures and kept redrawing lines
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I don't know where I'm going with this
|
I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this
|
Sit back and take in the story of the kid
|
As I look back at the strange things I did
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Everybody up!
|
Let me tell the truth to you
|
I never thought I'd be anyone you wished you knew
|
And just thought I'd end up a stain on the wall
|
Something you wanted fix if you've seen it all
|
Anyway back at PSI
|
I had a class with a smart mouth friend of mine
|
And we would sit in the back, the two of us combined
|
We'd make fun of everybody just to pass the time
|
Now we did it quietly so no one heard
|
A couple of nerds, sentence full of pictures and words
|
Until this kid heard we were calling him names and decided to get tough
|
I remember he came up to me that day in front of half my friends
|
and talk shit so loud people couldn't pretend they didn't hear him
|
Saying he would beat my ass and I laughed
|
But he was serious and pushed me back
|
At this point I was pretty confused
|
This little bitch was all amped so what could I do
|
I should have come back at him for all to see
|
But instead I just told him that, "It wasn't me"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I don't know where I'm going with this
|
I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this
|
Sit back and take in the story of the kid
|
As I look back at the strange things I did
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I don't know where I'm going with this
|
I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this
|
Sit back and take in the story of the kid
|
As I look back at the strange things I did
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
It's like Flat Liners, see that flick?
|
People dying, come back saying crazy shit,
|
people that they did wrong come back to attack them
|
And everyone that they hurt comes back for revenge
|
Well if that was ever going to happen to me
|
I'd pretentiously would be attacked constantly
|
But then again, for all the pain in my past
|
There'd be a lot of people that had better watch there ass
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I don't know where I'm going with this
|
I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this
|
Sit back and take in the story of the kid
|
As I look back at the strange things I did
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I don't know where I'm going with this
|
I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this
|
Sit back and take in the story of the kid,
|
As I look back at the strange things I did
|
