[Verse 1]

Okay, I gave me no challenge

Still sippin on chalice

Of extent of my talent

Greater than young me imagined (Oh-oh, oh)

Raised on madness

"Zip it 'fore we smoke ya' pack like it's fanny" (ooh ooh)

Bent warm plastic

Bad mold, all I ever was, God damn it, yeah

The crew of my crude imagination got me unaware

Got me simply scared of my future and what it brought

On another hand could say I was content, talking to Tinker Bell

Speaking to Peter Pan 'bout my life lived with fraught

How should a child grow? Guess I'll never know

It don't ring no bells when a nigga tells me, "You was 'posed to live it loud"

Among the many cells that made me who i am

Had me clutching for a way out, out of this Hell

[Chorus]

Oh-oh, oh

All the cannonballs y'all cut me off from

Oh-oh, oh

Recess, sitting still, tears drying out

Like, oh-oh, watching from a distance

Oh-oh, I don't wanna be me no more

How can I be more like you?

How can I be more like-

[Verse 2]

I need some closure to my life

I want some lead and some powder inside cortex, that's the motto

All that I got at the moment amounts and equals to nada

I need a good role model that I can confide on

Oh-oh, oh

You put me down (Oh, oh)

I'm on the ground (Oh, oh)

You took my crown (Oh, oh)

[Verse 3]

Goin' through withdrawals, so I went and queued deposits

Of faith towards everyone that wronged me with few options

Saw so far ahead of my future, ain't need new optics

Called myself my name, yearning for a way to feel sovereign

My essence meant blah, blah, blah, to them, so I let it burn

Seas of ceasing to exist washed over me, I learned

To not give a single shit about nun', nun', nun', nun', nun'

Kwanza said it, if Kwanza said it then its earned (Earned, earned)

[Chorus]

Oh-oh, oh

All the cannonballs y'all cut me off from

Oh-oh, oh

Recess, sitting still, tears drying out

Like, oh-oh, watching from a distance

Oh-oh, I don't wanna be me no more

How can I be more like you?

How can I be more like

Oh-oh, oh

All the cannonballs y'all cut me off from

Oh-oh, oh

Recess, sitting still, tears drying out

Like, oh-oh, watching from a distance

Oh-oh, I don't wanna be me no more

How can I be more like you?

How can I be more like

[Outro]

Inched closer and said something dumb like, "What y'all talking 'bout?"

Question fell on deaf ears, first time that I felt devout

To body art with sharp shears, pain inscribed below my palms

Touch my wrists its braille for: "A friend is all I ever want"
