I paced on the highways of a childhood past
I always wanted number one, but I stumbled into last
Always cared about people, yeah I went out of my way
I never got a "thank you" just a "go away"
Must people always suffer from a lack of heart?
It saddens me to see young kids left alone on a cart
To see that parents admire strangers even more than their kids
Kick them out of the house if they ain't no school wiz
I never understood the reason of just bein' mean
I mean, if you got somethin' against me, man just bring it clean
Instead, people wanna play their bullheaded little games
Then the shiz hits the fan, someone's shot in the rain
If people cared a little more, it'd be a beautiful Earth
No more whining about Americans and their beltline girth
No more hating on the Germans almost taking the world
No more hating Michael Jackson 'cuz he's white as a pearl
Yeah we're screwed up, I mean, we call girlfriends our bish
And 50 cent got shot 9 times before he finally got rich
He was fool enough to diss Jada and Nas just cuz he can
I couldn't stop laughing when Nas called G Unit a boy band
Enough of this, let's bring the attention back to me
How come every time I try, it's a futile attempt to see
I wasn't as cool as I was, it's just a matter of fact
Appreciation, motivation is exactly what I lacked
Yet I still trudge through life, I'm sayin' it's all good
My engine ain't even a Ferrari, it's a broken Daewoo
I always wanted to disappear, I really needed to leave
Really wanted to drop my problems straight through a sieve
Who am I really kiddin'? No one's got my back
Instead, they climb up on it, with a 90 pound sack
Yeah I'm almost done here, don't just change the channel
lemme rearrange here, all the switches on my panel
Cuz it seems these days everyone's got one to push
Then when it's the wrong one, they done hid in the bush
I'm sure they didn't wanna hurt me, it's all part of their rules
That, or y'all punks, tryin' to play me like a fool
You can break me all you want, I've already been there
I'm sure you're havin' fun, and I'm sure you don't care
You're just bein' you, you just look out for yourself
I know I ain't got your interest if I ain't got no wealth
It's a part of life, believe me I'm dealin' with it
Life can break my mind, but it can't break my wit
I'm sure it'll all get better, just like Moms say it would
I'll take my life in my arms, I wouldn't drop it if I could ...
