Man, they said I’m a show off.
But that’s so far from the fact it’s so wrong.
I got the truth in my hands and I’m trying so hard to hold on.
But you just keep taking and taking and taking till it’s all gone!
I’m trying to keep the peace on this road I’m on.
Why are you painting this picture of me which I know I’m not?
I wanna speak for myself but so many things I’m choking on.
But that’s ok, I wanna see the snakes I gotto mow the lawn.
Put my back into it and I know I’ll prove em wrong.
