If I could be somebody else Lie for me, I can't tell who it would be, I can't think of who it would be If all I ever wanted was to be myself Lately they say that's what's killin' me Say goodbye and when I'm gone and make a home made drum and beat it with my bones Say goodbye and when I'm gone and make a home made drum and beat it with my bones I've wined and dined with kings and queens Sat in cold alleys eatin' pork and beans I've reached for the stars, yeah I've chased that dream Ran with the scar, with the scabs and schemes What can I say one with an adventure, rough spirit Since I can remember had a needle hidin' behind my sternum I'd take it in the bathroom beside me Old folks lookin' thinkin' is he stupid? He might be That boy he marchin' to the beat of a different tuba I do believe that may be true but every time I do Ima do it while y'all sit talkin' that manure If I could be somebody else Lie for me, I can't tell who it would be, I can't think of who it would be If all I ever wanted was to be myself Lately they say that's what's killin' me Say goodbye and when I'm gone and make a home made drum and beat it with my bones Say goodbye and when I'm gone and make a home made drum and beat it with my bones No good, drop low, go get em' tiger, that a boy Necessary, I'm a fighter till I'm in the cemetery Written and forgotten, go for broke and still get dope Still standin' arms crossed, you know the pose Cameras zoomin' in till it stops at my nose... snot Gonna change, I'm a dirty little booger, I'm in the liquor and filthy looker I'm gonna nook em' in a crowd full of cougars with nostrils like hoovers All fucked up like the last all at the club by the mall at the last call Assholes and opinions If I could be somebody else Lie for me, I can't tell who it would be, I can't think of who it would be If all I ever wanted was to be myself Lately they say that's what's killin' me Say goodbye and when I'm gone and make a home made drum and beat it with my bones Say goodbye and when I'm gone and make a home made drum and beat it with my bones
