Once I was molded by the cruelest intentions I remember the days I would justify all the speculation And if you're gonna plant a rose, expect some weeds to grow And if you ever get that far everyone's a critic of your every move I used to find time to be defined by the public eye Fuck it, I rose above it In a mental prison, searching for my big break I need less attention on all of my mistakes What if I gave it up and they'd stop trippin'? All the doing dirt gone in a minute Just my luck, it makes no difference 'Cause all the while I'm blind I'm doin' fine I'm doin' fine I walked the walk and earned somethin' If you quit the talk, you might fuckin' learn something I grew up a fuckin' screw up Got disrespect from the cliques all the kids I fuckin' knew of I used to find time to be defined by the public eye Fuck it, I rose above it And if you're gonna plant a rose, expect some weeds to grow And if you ever get that far everyone's a critic of your every move In a mental prison, searching for my big break I need less attention on all of my mistakes What if I gave it up and they'd stop trippin'? All the doing dirt gone in a minute Just my luck, it makes no difference 'Cause all the while I'm blind I'm doin' fine Success is a two way street And you never wanna meet halfway So we can share this victory When I said success I meant love Through all of the hate I must've forgot what it was Trying my best to be impartial to the bullshit But nowadays love is blind I'd like to think we doin' fine I fell victim and I caved in to a flawed perspective Had it stuck in my mind, tried hard to cut the ties I fell victim to what I bet the whole world was concerned with You'll never know what it's like Unless I give it up and they stop trippin' All the doing dirt gone in a minute Just my luck, it makes no difference 'Cause all the while I'm blind What if I gave it up and they'd stop bitchin'? All the doing dirt gone in a minute Just my luck, it makes no difference 'Cause all the while I'm blind I'm doin' fine Yeah, we're doin' just fine I'm doin' fine You fuckin' punks
