[Verse 1]
How was I ever so naïve
That I could never see what was in front of me?
I grew up, and you let me down
That’s when I realized I didn’t need your kind around me
I’m not lettin’ myself change for you
Your change is my demise
I’m not lettin’ myself change for you
Please try and understand
You stole what we gave you for free
I’m takin’ back all my sins
Not lettin’ you in, I’m not lettin’ you in
I’m not lettin’ you in, I’m not lettin’ you in

[Verse 2]
How did you ever get
Passed my senses of sight, smell, taste, fee-fee-feel?
And what endeavors and gestured blessings
Made you believe that you could get this over on me?
But wait, you didn’t think about the pressure
Understand, understand the lecture, take heed
You’re walkin’ on bad land
You better check yourself ’fore you wreck yourself, man!
I’m not second place to a paycheck
Silly rabbit turnin’ tricks, I give you no respect
I don’t understand the joy you get
From pretending, pretending that you are the man
That you are the man, yeah
I see, isee
[Bridge]
I see the struggles never ending on
My time you’re wasting and you’re spending on
Rewriting the original, silly, super criminal
Prepare for the lesson you wish you learned back in school
You fool, well, here’s the golden rule
You stool, I sit, well, you ain’t bitin’ this
My friend, the end is what I put to this
The question everybody wonders
This is your kid, this is, it’s your kid
Ha, you wish, well, you ain’t bitin’ this
You can’t wonder why, damn, we’re too fly for you
The bottom of my shoe

[Break]
These are my words that you heard
You came up with this I never heard somethin’ so obvious
I thought we were close
Now, I understand that we were only an influence to you
To you, to you
To you, to you

[Outro]
Not a teacher to you
Not a preacher to you
Not a speaker to you
Not a friend to you
Not no, not no, not no, not no…
Not no brother to you
Not no other to you
Not explainin’ this to your mother
Boo, thought that you would be true
But I explained to you that second chance is through
Second chance is through
Shame on you, my senses, they cut through you
Shame on you
