I've been thinking about when I was trying to be your friend I thought it was, then, but it wasn't, it wasn't genuine I was just so furious, but I couldn't show you, 'cause I know you And I know what you can do, and I don't want a war with you I won't afford it, you get sore, even when you win And you maim when you're on offense But you kill when you're on defense And you got them all convinced that you're the means and the end All the VIP's and PYT's and wannabes Afraid of not being your friend And I've always been too smart for that, but you know what? My heart was not, I took it like a kid, you see The cool kids voted to get rid of me I'm ashamed of what it did to me What I let get done It stole my fun, it stole my fun
