You were under the impression that when you were walking forwards

That you'd end up further onward,

But things ain't quite that simple
You got altered information, you were told to not take chances
You missed out on new dances, now you're losing all your dimples

Get a job and fight to keep it, strike out to reach a mountain
Be so nice on the outside, but inside keep ambition

I've had enough of dancehalls, I've had enough of pills
I've had enough of streetfights, I've seen my share of kills
I'm finished with the fashions and actin' like I'm tough
|G G G G
I'm bored with hate and passion, I've had enough of trying to love

Half
