Greatest man that never lived

This life of mine has been over since it started
I never was gonna be able to fit in with this garbage/
I can't conform or respect authority figures
Especially when the only person helping me is pouring me liquor
I'm a nerd
… why do I gotta put my dukes up man?
Blacks & mexicans hating like I'm part of the ku klux klan
It's the ignorance,Like making of hell
Nothing but some wood and nails
To build a new life not looking through the same observation
To still prove I don't have it in me for any gang altercations
To feel pain but still look at my child & make a funny face
To never stop working until I get rid of this tummy ache
To not end up being another bum living at his buddies place
Rinsing my mouth out w/ salt water trying wash out the bloody taste
Yeah I use to be the kid who would punch you & cause mass hysteria
Picking fights with anyone in the lunch room cafeteria
Smoking,drinking,bitching an all that…
failing tests and ditching school
Yeah man I use to think all of this shit was cool
But then I saw the future… knew I had to stand with my family
Let go of the past & finally be the man that I have to be
Focus on the real issues… the big easy turned fema murder
Raining down on people like Ike's hand across Tina Turner
Or the jackass who's spent the past eight years in Washington DC
Hiding in his white house with the lights out watching his TV
Waiting for his life to end
letting head aches turn into tooth aches
How can he explain this to his wife and friends?
red states turn into blue states
Or what about the woman next door who sacrificed half her life
To a husband who likes to smack his wife when she's not acting right
Right eye is as black as night
… that's the price for this rich aspen life
Next time
instead of a pack of ice she grabs a knife
Starts asking christ if it's ok for her to kill her husband
… and yes you bet
Two weeks later they find the husband in a field bludgeoned to death
Now a days giving it your all just aint enough to make it
We just blame all our problems on the invisible person taking up the blanket
Or how blue February turned into a red March
Took winter and threw it in a pile of bleeding dead hearts
Maybe it's the blinding summers of red hiding under my bed
With skies of thunder that bled nights of wonder and life from some of your heads
Regardless… my heart is all I got and I'm gonna keep it goin
I'm a target of the market/… eyes like angel wings… leave em open
Don't ever look back man… and if you ever did
Just think about me
… the greatest man who never lived
