I Always Pictured

Folder: 
Sad

I always pictured,

Always figured,

I'd grow up to be a man others would look up to.

I'd be 6 foot 2,

Livin in the Big Ol City,

Not this mid-upper class town,

Was gonna play basketball, and throw it down.

I don't even watch any sports,

I can't even get rim, and I'm freakin short.

I don't write music,

And sometimes I still lose it.

I thought the jerks would all lay off me,

I thought I'd step and whisper softly.

Friends and loved ones, I'd touch gingerly,

On enemies, I'd inflict injury.

The man I thought I'd be by now,

The plans I thought I'd see by now,

Is haunting like a ghost of me,

Cuz I'm still wanting to change most of me.
