Cold hard dose of reality,
Blew out my knee,
Shadow of the man that I used 2 b,
All I ever had was the game,
And now all I've got left is shame,
Lost and i'm 2 blame,
They used 2 scream my name,
I'm a let down,
I was once the talk of the town,
I was famous, I was known,
And now i'm left all alone,
Took one 2 many things 4 granted,
I regret all those times that I raved and ranted,
I had money once upon a time,
Now I have 2 beg for every lousy dime,
I was eligable, now i'm undeclared,
Everybody starred,
Most of them glared,
Struck me out,
I don't doubt,
I deserve everything I get,
I'm sick of this shit,
That not the kind of man I want 2 b,
Nothing comes 4 free,
Pay the price, it's a heavy fee,
Maybe I might start 2 c,
I don't know what it's gonna b,
All I know is I need 2 try,
I wanna smile just b4 I die...
