I try to live my life as though I had a dream Try to make the world more than what it seems Try to hide from the light even though it beams Try to turn myself around from these childish schemes I've been on the flipside and upside down Right side up and turned back around Chewed up and spit out Twisted head to toe, without a doubt Been rock bottom, and been sky high Man I'm gonna be a freak 'til the day I die
chorus: You can knock me down but I'll get up Cut me deep, but know that I'm tough Call me names, play your games But when it's all done you'll be ashamed 'Cause I know the way, I know the word Call me great or you can call me disturbed
I've been back to the future, forward to the past Lived in a moment that could never last Tried everything I could get in my hands But after all this time I'm blessed to even stand I've been pushed around, and I've shoved 'em back Been treated like white, been treated like trash Do you see me now, hanging on by a thread No sir, 'cause I'm a man back from the dead
repeat chorus
I'm hot like J-lo, with a little T.K.O. I'm flowing thru your heart like a bottle of drain-o Ain't got time for no more pain-no Just another day of the same old same-o Look me up and down Smile for me or frown The expression of depression Or repression on your face Is nothing more than a dead give away So to your looks I say, what the hey
repeat chorus(2x)

I really like this John, it's very satirical, which makes it humorous to a certain extent, very clever piece.

I'll take that as a compliment, thank you for saying that KG....and Kelz too. Tobymac has been quite a great influence on my life and writing.
