NOTE: These Lyrics Vary Slightly from the Recording I've posted – The following words represent the final version of the Song which will be included on the OFFICIAL Album.
I always felt that I was gifted – somehow different.
Spent most of my life as a kid, tried to fit-in
Even though I had friends, I felt hidden or
Self conscious bout anything I’ve ever written.
Nonsense, I gave that up at twenty three.
My attitude changed, now I chase destiny
I don’t believe in fate.
I believe that most people give up dreaming at a very young age.
Me? I never woke up – Slept through every single
Class I ever had – my teachers told me “Grow Up!”
(I’ve never been good at taking orders), so I kept catching Z…'s
Deaf to their beliefs.
Achieved everything on my own terms
Sure I make mistakes, that’s correct way to learn.
All I’ve ever wanted? Respect when I write songs
Every wrong answer has the crowd bobbin along.
A short life for some and the good die young,
I admit, the only gun I’ve ever shot?…is the one
That I used playin' Duck Hunt, At age six
I had mad dogs catching birds from the middle of my fist.
Vocab is tremendous –
If I need vowel – no worries bout cash I spend it
I vow if I play the game, I’m winnin’
Pat Sajack keep that wheel spinnin.’
Half past drunk? My whole mouth grinnin’
Past tense, thunk? I think they don’t get it -
But I got something for the few who tune in…
I’m taking on the world that once kept me from livin’
I keep from growing liv-id
I know to preach without prac-tiss-ing gimmicks
I’m religious – cuz science is too strict
But every single faith seems blemished
So I do whats best – I stick to what I know
The mind is an instrument, I let mine grow
I let it all go, flow fluids…
Sometimes I'd rather be asleep – I dream lucid.
