lyrics

I can't dance I can’t sing I can’t get my voice right
no matter what I choose I just can’t get the choice right
I've made mistakes that I can't come back from
aint got what it takes - don't even have some
i can't forgive, I can't forget what they told me
can’t live, I’m scared to death, please hold me
gotta do the same thing that everyone else is
I can’t help myself I’m so helpless
I don't want to stand out, I just want fit in
I don't want to stand up, much simpler to sit in
feel like I got a gift, I’m afraid to unveil it
I can’t take the chance though - I’m too afraid of failing
I can never love again cuz I was once heart broke
want to learn to make art, heard it's too late to start though
life is so hard, all I got is problems
I'll stall any day to find any way to solve em

one life to life, one life to lose
one life to win, one life to choose
no excuses

I’m from the side of the tracks where nobody makes it
matter of fact forget it I think I’m just gonna get wasted
I’m just not wired right - got a short circuit
I'm too tired and I've decided that life's just not worth it
I'm the great no hope, my folks didn't have much
you know hard times and such - that's my crutch
I'm from a small town i can't do big things
don't follow me I don't want to be - it stings
I can't get off this couch please stop nagging me
I keep eating and sleeping and reading these magazines
I can’t evolve dog, i'm too set in my ways
I spend most all of my nights just kinda... regretting my days
I can’t ball I can't call I don't talk right
I can’t run a marathon - I don’t walk right
my chance to fly, I'll walk right by it
I can’t speak to the world cuz I’m too quiet

bobbing and weaving, check the intensity
believing even with all odds stacked against me
a living legend present, capable of anything
transcendent, unbreakable if anything
more than human genome I’m a human phenom
a mutant mix of twisted physics, this is my theme song
the course I be on, something divine
the darkest horse in the race, coming from behind
yeah I’m a long shot, so was Joan of Arc, David
Buster Douglas, team USA - 1980
do you believe in miracles or make them happen?
do you make your fait or just take it as fait would have it
they’ve never seen a passion quite like mine
they’ve never seen a moment of truth last a lifetime
pressure is just the stage heroes that get amped on
time fades... we close like champions
