[Verse 1]
How was I ever so naïve
That I could never see what was in front of me?
I grew up and you let me down
That's when I realized I didn't need your kind around me
I'm not letting myself change for you
Your change is my demise
I'm not letting myself change for you
Please try and understand
You stole what we gave you for free
I'm taking back all my sins
I'm not letting you in!
I'm not letting you in!
I'm not letting you win!
I'm not letting you in!
[Verse 2]
How did you ever get passed
My senses of sight, smell, taste, fee-fee-feel?
And what endeavors and gestured blessings
Made you believe that you could
Get this over on me?
But wait, you didn't think
About the pressure!
Understand, understand the lecture
Take heed
You're walkin' on bad land
You better check yourself before your wreck yourself, man!
I'm not second place to a paycheck, man!
You silly rabbit turning tricks I give you no respect!
I don't understand the joy you get from pretending
Pretending that you are the man
That you are the man…
[Bridge]
I see the struggle's never ending on
My time you're wasting and you're spending on
Rewriting the original, silly, stupid criminal
Prepare for the lesson you wish you learned
Back in school, you fool
Well here's the golden rule
You stool, I sit
Well you ain't biting this
My friend, the end is what I put to this
The question everybody wanders
This is your kid!
This is, it's your kid!
Ha, you wish!
Well, you ain't biting this!
You can't wonder why
Damn we're too fly for you!
The bottom of my shoe
[Break]
These are my words that you heard
You came up with this I never heard
Something so obvious
I thought we were close
Now I understand that we were only an influence
To you
To you
To you
To you
To you
[Outro]
Not a teacher to you!
Not a preacher to you!
Not a speaker to you!
Not a friend to you!
Not no, not no, not no, not no…
Not no brother to you!
Not no other to you!
Not explaining this to your mother
Boo thought that you
Would be true
But, I explained to you that
Second chance is through!
Second chance is through!
Shame on you!
My senses, they cut through you!
Shame on you!
