(A rap: all
in a rush, breathless)
I met some other
people –
The people
that I thought were the same,
turned out
to be different,
and the
people that I thought were different,
turned out
to be the same.
Which threw
me for a loop,
‘cuz I was
ready to join their troop.
But what
troop was that?
The people
who were the same
I wasn’t
sure I liked ‘em anymore,
but the
people who were different
instead of
wanting to dislike ‘em,
now they
were fourscore, yeah, fourscore.
They were
cool. Turns out, we went to the same school.
I was all
mixed up. What is this? Am I now grown-up?
Maybe it wasn’t
so bad. But after all these years, I been had?
Still I wasn’t
sure, so I turned to her, and if you can’t trust her
who can you trust?
She said I was – that I was –
well you know, that it was good, it was good, and besides,
well you know, that it was good, it was good, and besides,
you should
trust what’s right, inside, outside,
listen to
what’s right, don’t fight,
don’t fight what
comes to you,
when you
learn something new,
for you
might learn something new
when you meet
some other people.
(Brakes on, full stop)
Yeah –
Yeah –
I met some
other people.
