Hope Springs Eternal
--- Neel ---
Citronella candles, Firefiles and banjoes
Neighbors waving 'hello' while their parents getting cancer
Saturdays and manga, carpet floors and the land of
Pillow fights, jello bites, nerf toys and handguns

Pokemon and Reebok, Tennis shoes and Levis
Bubble Gum Ahimsa, Spirit gun and Hitler
Laffy Taffy Sours, Purple scented flowers
Charizard, your friend 'yaar' a centaur and cowards

Teenage Mutant Ninjas, Eragon and Simba
Brownie Spoons, Shah Rukh Kuhn's Song's with a synth
A pinch of the cinnamon, tank man in Tienanmen
Tank tops in Michigan, PayPal predicament

Pizza in a pan though, rolling minivan yo
Praying for a lighter skin to fit in with the town folk
Yellow bus to home, yellow corn by the kernel
The past I forgot cause my hope springs eternal

11/25/1992
Birthed, new the world, but also new to the rules
Lived life for the Lord, with no knowledge of blues
Ready to conquer the world, after paying my dues
No need to live in another man's shoes
My Purpose stuck to my heart like glue
Knew that when I'd grow up, I'll achieve my dreams
And sit on top of the world, with the pride of a King

Somehow I lost this, 12 years later
Stuck in the motions, grabbing tips like a waiter
On how to live life all out to the fullest
Wishing for sure steps on how to do this

Clueless, even though I'm almost grown
Bump the throne, gotta come into my own
I feel like I'll never reach this zone
I got some skills to hone

--- Ben-G ---
Ay yo my hope's spring, so I ain't gotta say it
Yeah they came before me, so I ain't gotta spray it
I just gotta live it, now what's harder to do?
Say you'll climb a mountain, or follow it through?

Say you'll do this when it's come to that?
But when the time comes you take you a nap
Now just "be," call me NEBBO or Ben-G? We'll see

I can live my own life, or try to be you
But I'll live free and be me
Going with my friends and my family
