You never seem to faze me
When you do the things you do
You rarely seem to surprise me
When you don't even need a clue
People are always amazed
By the great heights of your feats
And to think so much talent
Came from the filthy streets
But you were never made for that
You weren't birthed straight from the hood
Just like I was meant for second best
I can't do the things you could
But was I ever jealous?
If so, you could never tell
I'm not looking for attention
I'm accustomed to my cell
I'm content to stay in shadows
Hide behind another's deeds
All the while feigning devotion
Pretending that I don't need
I don't need to move along
Because I'm happy where I'm at
Deep down inside it may be a lie
Deep down I don't think that
But all I want to see in you
Is joy, happiness, and glee
Don't worry about the places I'm going
It's just not meant to be
