is this a sign that I'm falling behind? wasting time am i losing my mind? so unkind theres no reason no rhyme nevermind couldn’t see I was blind in 93 I was an offspring couldn’t afford a diamond ring had to undergo my rites of spring I was a puppet on a string I used to think I was worth nothing found out I was something everyone told me I was worthless now I realize they weren’t anything for years I was a plaything mocked and laughed at for every single thing I was criticized for being me it stung like a bee sting wanted to flee to Beijing in the choir I learned to sing

had to wear a uniform at work it was the norm went through the thunderstorm all the people were misinformed didn’t want to conform spit 'em out if they’re lukewarm drove through the snowstorm stayed inside where it’s warm in college I ditched the dorm now I’m on a platform all my raps are freeform with a band I perform my faith was restored on a Teac I tape record Barry White loves harpsichord diving off the diving board played chess on a chessboard in the ocean I surfboard bought a new keyboard A Korg I adored The lion just roared Now I’m on the Billboard charts I ride a skateboard Down the hill when I’m bored The territory was unexplored I paid the slumlord For last months rent now I’m good mixing on a sound board on guitar i play a chord when I felt ignored i got hungry so i went to the smorgasbord put on my boxing gloves there is a lack of love I saw two turtledoves none of the above at In-N-Out I got fast food because I was in the mood Hey Jude, I conclude there was a Family Fued had to get interviewed at a high altitude latitude and longitude my hair I shampooed I have no tattoos shish kabobs I barbecued had to feed the multitudes spent time in solitude
