Thought when I grew up
I would be the same as the ones who gave me my last name
I would not give in, I would not partake
In the same old drugs everyone else takes
I m better than that, I m better than that
I m living my life so I go to heaven and never come back
But look where I m at, look where I m at
N.C.
I m living the life that I said I wouldn t, I wanna go back
I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn t far away
But now I m all ed up out in LA
Cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with God s name
But it s been so long since I last prayed
And now I m all ed up and my heart s changed
Cause I care more about what other people say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause I care more about what other people say
I wish I could shelter the boy I knew
From the constant hell I d put him through
Cause I m all grown up and I m black and blue
I could use some tape, I could use some glue
I m better than that, I m better than that
I should be living my life so I go to heaven and never come back
I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her love wasn t far away
But now I m all ed up out in LA
Cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with God s name
But it s been so long since I last prayed
And now I m all ed up and my heart s changed
Cause I care more about what other people say
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause I care more about what other people say
