I'm tired of people messing with me
I'm tired of people treating me wrong
I'm tired of people saying I stank
I'm tired of people remembering the past
...
I know you was a kind of friend
Who I can depend on
We can laugh and crack jokes
While we sit back and relax
...
There will not ever be anyone like me
There will be follows of me
But I'm the one and only me
Because I am unique
...
Gangs are no good
There are so many gangs
I just don't know what to do
At the corner
...
Stop self destructing yourself
Stop abusing yourself with drugs
Stop compromise yourself
Stop giving up on yourself
