Egomaniac Misunderstood/ I'm the Kid (Reggae remix)
On the surface, I'm everything you're glad you arn't
I'm the kid everyone makes fun of even though they don't know me,
I'm the kid they say is depressed for no reason and hated for it,
I'm the kid who's depressed because he's hated.
I'm the kid who doesn't kick the shit out of you even though i could
I'm the kid who, if i didn't know i was above you, might come in to school and gun everyone down
cause I'm the kid who people think it's funny to smear and draw pictures which depict me sucking a dick or getting assfucked or whatever gay joke is funniest that week, all over the bathroom walls
I'm the kid who has to look at that shit everytime i go to take a piss.
And because of all this
I'm the kid who walks down the hall with a don't fuck with me or you'll regret it stride,
I'm the kid who you won't make eye contact with
I'm the kid whose automaticly a stalker for saying hi to a girl twice.
I'm the kid wit no friends
and no thats not an exageration
cause I'm the kid that even if people do like me, won't hang out with me cause then they'd become like me too
And nobody wants that.
But this isn't me
Oh no motherfucker, no
I could beat the shit out of them who disrespect me in the bathroom
but i don't cause, WHAT THE FUCK? you're 17 and your still writting on bathroom walls
And i'm the kid whose anoying to talk to, not because of what i say, but because of how whatever i say, all your friends will make fun of me and you, for talking to me
I'm the kid who's a straight A student but still gets treated like I'm stupid when you have to work with me in class
I'm the kid who time and time again defies your expectations but still the shit gets twisted and I'm still shit.
I'm the kid whose an artist
better than you or anyone else you've ever seen
I'm the kid who's strenghts get stronger
every time you attack me
I'm the kid who's so articulate you can't get what I'm saying
so you think it's all bullshit, but it's smarter than any shit you could ever come up with, and i didn't even read the fucking book
I'm the kid whose got inspiration that would inspire South Africa to stop killing their people and would make the U.N. give a shit about it if they didn't.
I'm the kid who can sing,
any fucking song, anyday, as good as or better than who everthe motherfucker is who wrote it.
I'm the kid whose talent is like a chameleon
I can write an essay on the spot,
debate a book like a politician,
do a report like i acually spent as much time as you on it
know the answers without knowing them
Write like a fucking tidal wave, on the spot, any time, motherfucker, you tell me the inspiration and give me a pen and i'll give you gold
Every time
I'm the kid who you don't get
I'm the kid who's a threat
I'm the kid who will tear you down, build you back up, blow your ass up and make it look like it was you that was doing it
I'm the kid who's way beyond his years, who can do anything and everything
who knows it, and doesn't give a fuck cause that easy shit isn't even worth his time
I'm the kid who's humble, by apearance, but it's only cause I'm so far above you i'd be going backwards to even put in the effort
And I'm the kid who's always moving forward.
I'm the kid who's thoughts flow so rapidly well thought out, freely and with more grace, out of my mind and into the air, if i were to invest any effort to it, i'd destroy you in an instant
But I'm the kid who's determined not to be you
So on the surface I'm everything you're glad you arn't
and no I've never had a girlfriend, but i've loved
and no, no girl has ever loved me, but i've loved and that's enough
and no, I'm not popular, but If they'd just grow up and leave me alone i wouldn't mind
and, know that even though i say I'm above everything, I don't have to be
and no, being a bodhistatva, and understanding you enemies, and never holding grudges,
It's not enlightening
what's enlightening is knowing, that your alone in the local, but not in the global.
and their are other intelecual romantics, just not here
and pain is subjective, and undertaking it makes it go away.
and only in the depths of your sadness, or at the heights of your joy, can you know what this life is really worth
and me and Bob will look for our's on earth
and once you've seen that light
You'll never stop living,
Cause despite the Bible, I got only proof of this world,
none of the next,
and i can't gamble on an afterlife
and waste my time here
cause what i love is the imperfections, the opposites to every feeling
and in a perfect world, nothing can be great, everything utopian
without hate their's no love
and without love, life is nothing
I'm the kid everyone makes fun of even though they don't know me,
I'm the kid they say is depressed for no reason and hated for it,
I'm the kid who's depressed because he's hated.
I'm the kid who doesn't kick the shit out of you even though i could
I'm the kid who, if i didn't know i was above you, might come in to school and gun everyone down
