Once upon a time there was no confidence,
In a defencive stance, hallways always felt ominous
I wanted to wake up tomorrow and be anonymous
I wanted to start over with a blank slate, a new face
a new name, a new kid from another town or place
I wanted a back story that no one could trace
At one point in my life, I just wanted to live fake
And that today makes me sick, a sour taste
I wasn't an only child, but still was a lonely child
cause I had a personality that was kind of mild
so friends didn't gravitate towards me,
I just had a lot of people who tried to avoid me
And some who seemed to like to annoy me
To the point where I was a paranoid freak
And I couldn't up to them, just to weak
forgotten I felt like the flavor of the week
The Story of where I was, an update on where I am,
I finally feel like me again
This is where I was, This is where I am,
I finally feel like me again
This is where I was, This is where I am,
It feels so good, to feel like me again.
I've learned my ABC's and that life is not a game.
I've come a long way, since my past and darker days,
Of was struggling to find words to fit a blank page.
But with what I've gained from the give and take-
I can safely say that my journey's been fully repaid.....
I went through a gradation of transformations- as I was changing grades
As all my grade A's changed to grades at much lower states
That's when I began to look inward for answers- instead of outward for aid
Plus my good friend Hip-hop came along to save the day.
I was so naive, I'm living proof that wisdom comes with age
I was a dumb kid, but now I'm a wise man getting wiser
I went from a social pariah, to a lyrical messiah
No need for a ghost writer, or a lighter neither
when you realize that, you're already spitting fire.
I was a cry-baby crier, now a stand-up for myself fighter
The odd one out, but now I feel so much flyer
The Story of where I was, an update on where I am,
I finally feel like me again
This is where I was, This is where I am,
I finally feel like me again
This is where I was, This is where I am,
It feels so good, to feel like me again.
