I'm comin' up for air so I can Check myself again and I stand Proven to the man but sheltered Confidence we tend to (shove in) Unexpected hunger traps me Just shut up and stand beside me I don't need your understanding I don't need to change a damn thing
And though I'm used to help you here It does not change the man I was When you found me and there was no else around me Just turn the page and watch me grow There's so many things you don't know about my soul Live and die but this will not get old
Just when you think that you're down and out Don't preconceive what I'm all about Look for a reason that you have to start Acting like a friend that you were not And when you think that we played it out We come from the bottom and knock it out Look for a reason that you have to start Acting like a friend but you were not, yeah
Nothing in between to fall through I'm being myself, who are you? You stand above and look down You're just a plagiaristic clown You suck the life out of me You keep track of the payee And when this wealth becomes dry You'll shed a tear for another lie
And though I'm used to help you here It does not change the man I was When you found me and there was no else around me Just turn the page and watch me grow There's so many things you don't know about my soul Live and die but this will not get old
Just when you think that you're down and out Don't preconceive what I'm all about Look for a reason that you have to start Acting like a friend that you were not And when you think that we played it out We come from the bottom and knock it out Look for a reason that you have to start Acting like a friend but you were not, yeah
And though I'm used to help you here It does not change the man I was When you found me and there was no else around me Yeah, yeah, yeah, ohhh
Just when you think that you're down and out Don't preconceive what I'm all about Look for a reason that you have to start Acting like a friend that you were not And when you think that we played it out We come from the bottom and knock it out Look for a reason that you have to start Acting like a friend but you were not, yeah
