[Verse 1: Sweetheartz]

My life

I wish it were a movie

If I was a star near and far

Represent

Step back, jump the cracks

Baby's breaking momma's back

I'm cut out with a jack matter of fact

I nawed my own way out of that

With my first tooth

Cracked from my momma's shell

Following my nose to a better smell

When I got caught up in gold lame'

Sipping at picnics with teddy

At backyard tea parties

She keeps her room clean by hiding when her mommy yells

Her clothes need to be picked up off the floor

So she makes her best friend in the new home

Where the moss and the palms are grown all about the swing sets

She sings just to free herself and feel like the queen

Ready for her picture taken in one hot second

She sprouts legs, gets in tune, and gets out of the South Dregs

It gets old bringing your backpack to school

Jumping cracks between

Running from your jumpers

And more from the casual days you used to want

But then when the day comes

You'd rather that red sweater

Because it just fits

Though it looks mad dumb

So our new homie said hello, she left school with a high-five

And took off with the new books to get live-education

And vacation all rolled-up in one stroke

But that's when I was six years and Cameron was eight

I got to hear another dear Barros was to be born and that date was near

Now, I didn't know how to say fear, but I felt my stomach quake

And my niceness of life just slipping away

And I knew that someday, I'd be giving my car away to him

That younger brother, the young rock-boxer from yawn dawn Denver-Denver

I just got a new job: my life in the middle

So without a watch, I could pack and give up

So I ran away, just up the street would be where I would sleep

In the cal-de-sac where we see foxes

And where they drug my blind cat Mogur, Meow!

I guess it was them I was planning to eat

Because I'm my sister's twin spirit, and time's training for a trophy

I grew up slowly, but I learned how to know both feet

Because by moving, I kept both far from apart

They went right left right, every day another spot, new picture, another life

My life

I wish it were a movie

If I was a star near and far

Represent

So used to being open, I met my first friend

Found out who's hot in the play pin out at Jefferson

I was turning ten when I got my first crush

And got that men and women were different

Gave a good punch

With my right fist for good fight

Learned that I'd been taught right, was given the Go Green Light

That's when just my whole world changed

From Girl Scouts and tap dancing, to Entertaining

How I became in it was with my eyes shin-sinning

For the Jew who got to play Hansel

The next minute, it's Jana Barros for that role

And singing, dancing, hand in hand with every band in town

Every product producing

Every player's having party's put me on introducing

I got in with wonderful theatrics

But at night I'm Patrick's on the back porch, or wherever we are

Blicks for writing everything down that I would, could, should, need, have-to remember

Should have started in Denver

But my crew in Montana made me one banana could hadna, wouldna, shouldna, surrender

Surf ski snow blow cold Tapanga, get shit out for a margarita

Got down in the South

Whuffed a fella who tasted like purple

But durple slurple that sugar stanks at clambakes in my volverple

But good God! Would these skater haters not bend over?

Blowing guns, shots as I run up the street pops

Shooting man drops by the house where I shot my first and last film noir

They're not doing those no more

Just to practice the threats, I brought my own cookie jar

And you're not ready for the guy

That they did through the door

They shot all over with guns just for putting in ones

Open, just reach in for a cookie and got poker chips instead and money

And yet when I'm given a taste, I'm wanting more

Tomorrow's looking clean, the Barros' tomorrow can not be far

The family's been commuting for six years

I'm like, having a cold beer

Went from white peaks to black peers

Set thank-you notes on the scale

I don't have it in me to fail

So fuck your thanks until I'm through with...

Thank you, I'm bringing you with...

For holding on as far I've gone...

I'm not starting a fight

And I'm larger than right...

And I'm taking the wrong on tour where I can sing this song at night and blow up all night long!

My life

I wish it were a movie

If I was a star near and far
