Verse 1:
And I was the one who never said much in class/
went from straight "A's" to barely makin' a pass/
kids said I was weird/
some said that I was too smart/
everybody playin' roles I was just/
playin' my part/
they said my hair was too long/
everything got ugly/
through all this shit I thank God at least my mama love me/
never ran with the littler 'cuz I ran too fast/
the kid who always sat down in the back of the class/
and on the playground/
I always was the last pick/
always had a crush/
but never got the baddest chick/
never tasted success/
no not even a lick/
I guess I was the one who got the short end of the stick/
never left the house/
never past the front porch/
never got along with kids so I never played sports/
never gave a fuck/
but don't get it twisted/
I feel like I'm dead like I never existed/

Chorus:
Everything Changes/
but the places and faces/
no one knows me I'm nameless/
faceless/
leave footprints but not traces/
somebody take me out this life I can't take this/
all I got is my pen and my rhymes/
I swear I've sung this song at least a million times/
I pray to God that he'll/
take me away/
but then I close my eyes and I can see a better day/

Verse 2:
And I was always too tall/
too fat or way too skinny/
usually spent my lunch money had a couple of pennies/
never had cash/
seems I was always too broke/
never paid attention/
high off that indo smoke/
never cared too much/
I mean about the other kids/
when the food came to the table never had first dibs/
TV dinners mac and cheese and top ramen/
never knew the other kids but with me they had problems/
never knew why/
never knew how/
never knew in a few years I could say look at me now/
but if I could go back/
I would do it all again/
but I wouldn't laugh then/
'cuz I'd be no better than them/
this is me new/
and this is how I'm livin'/
and it's a new day/
and it's a new beginning/
and I never got to play in the 9th inning/
and if I get a strike I give a damn I'm goin' down swinging/

Chorus

I never said too much 'cuz I was too busy thinkin'/
stopped gettin' all "A's" too busy daydreamin/
schemin' on bigger things/
that I've still never got/
done a lot of dumb things the only thing I ever got was caught/
music didn't come to me music was a choice/
never got sales/
people didn't like my voice/
never got on TV/
never got airplay/
too many get to heaven but trip up the stairway/
this life is never fair play/
we all got reasons/
I never knew everybody changes like the seasons/
but I'ma stay sane with my blunts and my lighter/
and like they say "ooh child things'll get brighter"/
but the one guarantee in life is that we all die/
I've always felt this way/
and I've never questioned why/
you can jump all you want but you're never gonna fly/
so I'ma roll by myself with my shadow by my side/

Chorus
