In my years, I've seen all sounds of misconception. In my years, I've done all I can live to question. What happened to me I don't understand. I've seen all I can see as my time expands. Bored I am, bored of my own desperation, I can't defend, can't find my own destination. What happened to me I don't understand. I've seen all I can see as my time expands. So what's up with you, what's up with me. I'm not the one I can't pretend, What would I be if I did it all again. And I sometimes wish I would have asked some questions. Then maybe I would have a clearer life perception. What's up with you, what's up with me.

Out here I can barely see my breath Surrounded by jealousy and death I can't be reached, only had one call Dragged underneath, separate from you all this time I've lost my own return In spite of everything I've learned I hid my tracks, spit out all my air Slipped into cracks, stripped of all my cares I'm so tired sheep are counting me No more struggle, no more energy No more patient and you can write that down It's all too crazy and I'm not sticking round

She told me put my heart in the bag (In the bag) And nobody gets hurt (No hurt) Now I'm running from her love, I'm not fast (Fast) So I'm making it worse (Making it worse) Now I'm digging up a grave, from my past I'm a whole different person (I'm a whole different person) It's a gift and a curse (It's a gift and a curse) But I cannot reverse it I can't reverse it It was a gift and a curse And now I'm drinkin' too much, so I'ma talk with a slur Last time I saw you, it ended in a blur I woke up in a hearse You said, "You loved me first" (First) One thing my dad told me was, "Never let your woman know when you're insecure" So I put Gucci on the fur And I put my wrist on iceberg One thing my heart tells me is "Flex on a ho every time they're insecure" I guess you came through, I'm running from you Is your love for real? (For real? For real?) Is your love really true? She told me put my heart in the bag (In the bag) And nobody gets hurt (Hurt) Now I'm running from her love, I'm not fast (Fast) So I'm making it worse (Worse) Now I'm digging up a grave, from my past (Past) I'm a whole different person (Person) It's a gift and a curse (Curse) But I cannot reverse it You gave me the runaround I really hate the runaround You really got me paranoid I always keep a gun around You always give me butterflies When you come around When you come around When you come around You let me know love is not the answer Not the answer, not the answer I love to do drugs so mind my manners I get high when you don't decide to answer Phone home, I need to phone home I'm throwing rocks at your window, I need to go home I don't wanna leave I just wanna be with you You, you, you She told me put my heart in the bag (In the bag) And nobody gets hurt (No hurt) Now I'm running from her love, I'm not fast (Fast) So I'm making it worse (I'm making it worse) Now I'm digging up a grave, from my past I'm a whole different person (I'm a whole different person) It's a gift and a curse (It's a gift and a curse) But I cannot reverse it

She called me late last night to say she loved me so It didn't matter anymore but I say she never cared And that she never will I'd do it all again I guess I'll have to wait until then If I get drunk well I'll pass out On the floor now baby You won't bother me no more If you're drinkin' well you know That you're my friend and I say I think I'll have myself a beer She called me late last night to say she loved me So..? but I guess he changed her mind Well I should have known it wouldn't be All right, but I can't live without her So I won't even try Maybe some day, I'll think of what to say Maybe next time I'll remember what to do She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell Said she'd do it all again, she'd promise not to tell! If I get drunk well, I'll pass out On the floor now baby You won't bother me no more (And she said) It's OK boy cause you know We'll be good friends And I say, I think I'll have myself a beer

Some days I sit starin' out the window Watchin' this world pass me by Sometimes I think there's nothin' to live for I almost break down and cry Sometimes I think I'm crazy I'm crazy, oh, so crazy Why am I here, am I just wasting my time? But then I see my baby Suddenly I'm not crazy It all makes sense when I look into her eyes Sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders Everyone's leanin' on me 'Cause sometimes it feels like the world's almost over But then she comes back to me My baby girl [Hailie laughs] keeps gettin' older I watch her grow up with pride People make jokes 'cause they don't understand me They just don't see my real side I act like shit don't phase me, Inside it drives me crazy My insecurities could eat me alive But then I see my baby Suddenly I'm not crazy It all makes sense when I look into her eyes, oh, no. Sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders Everyone's leanin' on me 'Cause sometimes it feels like the world's almost over But then she comes back to me Man, if I could sing, I'd keep singing this song to my daughter If I could hit the notes, I'd blow something as long as my father To show her how I feel about her, how proud I am that I got her God, I'm a daddy, I'm so glad that her mom didn't [*want her* backwards] Now you probably get this picture from my public persona That I'm a pistol-packing drug-addict who bags on his mama, But I wanna just take this time out to be perfectly honest 'Cause there's a lot of shit I keep bottled that hurts deep inside o' my soul, And just know that I grow colder the older I grow This boulder on my shoulder gets heavy and harder to hold And this load is like the weight of the world And I think my neck is breaking. Should I just give up or try to live up to these expectations? Now look, I love my daughter more than life in itself, But I got a wife that's determined to make my life livin' hell But I handle it well, given the circumstances I'm dealt So many chances, man, it's too bad, could've had someone else But the years that I've wasted are nothing to the tears that I've tasted So here's what I'm facin': 3 felonies, 6 years of probation I've went to jail for this woman, I've been to bat for this woman I've taken bats to people's backs, bent over backwards for this woman Man, I should've seen it comin', what'd I stick my penis up in? Would've ripped the pre-nup up if I'd seen what she was fuckin' But fuck it, it's over, there's no more reason to cry no more I got my baby, baby the only lady that I adore, Hailie So sayonara, try tomorrow, nice to know ya My baby's travelled back to the arms of her rightful owner And suddenly it seems like my shoulder blades have just shifted It's like the greatest gift you can get The weight has been lifted And now it don't feel like the world's on my shoulders Everyone's leanin' on me 'Cause my baby knows that her daddy's a soldier Nothin' can take her from me

Tell us where you're from What you want to become And we'll say if you're OK Where did you go to school? Right answer and you're cool Yeah, you're the kid the whole day You get a sticker in your face Information 'bout the case So you know your potential Don't think you can extend Don't think you can extend, just comprehend But I don't wanna hear it No, it's more than I accept 'Cause I don't care where I belong no more What we share or not I will ignore I will ignore We will shut you out We'll put you in doubt If you think that you're special We'll tell you who you are We'll tell you that you're close but no cigar But I don't wanna hear it No, it's more than I accept 'Cause I don't care where I belong no more What we share or not I will ignore And I won't waste my time fitting in 'Cause I don't think contrast is a sin What they say is Go back where you came from They'll tell you that, I don't want to hear No, I don't want to hear No, I don't want to hear it No, it's more than I accept 'Cause I don't care where I belong no more What we share or not I will ignore And I won't waste my time fitting in 'Cause I don't think contrast is a sin No, it's not a sin

A strange little place No familiar faces Smell of fresh air A safe little haven Just her and I By a fireside and She took me far away To an unfamiliar place She took me far away And everything was okay I was okay

I just can't find what's right for me In this never-ending sea Of deceptive hands and hypocrisy I guess I'll just stay on my path On my self-constructed raft The water's seeping in Watch friends drown then learn to swim Coz this water's way too deep for me And I'm suffocating I can't breathe It must be hard to find yourself Trying to be somebody else Can't believe you're all so fake It took some time for me to see I wanna be no one but me Feels good to be so free Please excuse my cold and bitter frown I learned to swim by watching others drown There's a beach, boys Tell me what you see, boys I see decoys Oasis at sea Please excuse my cold and bitter frown I learned to swim by watching others drown

My funny valentine Sweet comic valentine You make me smile with my heart Your looks are laughable Unphotographable Yet your my favorite work of art Is your Figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little week? When you open it to speak Are you smart? But don't change your hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little valentine stay Each day is Valentines day Is your figure less than Greek Is your mouth a little weak When you open it to Speak Are you smart But don't change your hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little valentine stay Each day is valentines day
