Yo, everybody up, let me introduce to you
A man that you heard of, and you thought you knew
Well gimme a couple of seconds just to prove to you
You never did, but let me give you a chance to
I used to swear everybody had it in for me
People only wanted to talk to spit on me
So I paint pictures and draw a little bit
And every time I was pissed off at some kid
I'd get home, and draw a little sketch
Of any kid I hated with a knife in the neck
A pencil in the eye and a hole in the back
I had a backpack of six sketches like that
And over time, people started to see
The pictures that I made made a lot of sense to me
But it never even really made much of a difference
They still talk shit, but not at close distance
And that sucked, cuz all I wanted to have
Was just a little attention, whether good or bad
But over time, I got sick of trying
And kept making the pictures and kept drawing lines

I don't know where I'm going with this
I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this
So sit back and take in the story of the kid
As I look back at the strange things I did

Everybody up, let me tell the truth to you
I never thought I'd be anyone you'd wish you knew
I just thought I'd end up a stain on the wall
Something you wanna fix, if you see it at all
Anyway, back a few years time
I had a class with a smart-mouthed friend of mine
And we would sit in the back, the two of us combined
Would make fun of everybody just to pass the time
Now, we did it quietly so no one heard
A couple of nerds with pages full of pictures and words
Until this kid heard we were calling him names
And decided to get tough, I remember he came
Up to me that day in front of half my friends
And talked shit so loud, people couldn't pretend
They didn't hear him, saying he would beat my ass
And I laughed, but he was serious and pushed me back
At this point, I was pretty confused
This little bitch was all amped, so what could I do?
I shoulda come back at him, for all to see
But instead, I just told him that it wasn't me

I don't know where I'm going with this
I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this
So sit back and take in the story of the kid
As I look back at the strange things I did

I don't know where I'm going with this
I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this
So sit back and take in the story of the kid
As I look back at the strange things I did

It's like Flatliners, you see that flick?
People die and come back seeing crazy shit
People that they did wrong come back to attack them
And everyone they hurt comes back for revenge
Well, if that was ever gonna happen to me
I potentially would be attacked constantly
But then again, for all the pain in my past
There'd be a lot of people that had better watch their ass

I don't know where I'm going with this
I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this
So sit back and take in the story of the kid
As I look back at the strange things I did

I don't know where I'm going with this
I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this
So sit back and take in the story of the kid
As I look back at the strange things I did
