he was a kid he was the joker Low potential, mediocre Class clown, sneak off out the door Long hair a grease spot on the black board honey take off that bra Tryin to hit a homerun in your garage He loved graffiti, it him Creeped the alley with a can of rustoleum Canvas, that flat He learned to control the nervousness If it aint buildin he the bridge And no he dont a damn what the curfew is Chased away all the grace While them old folks bitch the way hes raised Minneatmosphere Get ya running from the cops just for here Well what do ya he got older Trying to apply what showed him left out in that cold To try to learn how to manage all weight on his shoulders We all want the easy life a piece of the pie that'll keep us So turn it up til' the cry And don't quit til' you reach the sky,
