Junior High
(Intro)
"You know what was really annoying? Junior High. Those were like, the worst years of my life -- I got hated on, outcasted, listen to this."

(Verse 1)
My only question was who am I?
I was longing for acceptance in junior high

Just a product of regret in its true design
I made a promise to myself I would rule the skies, what a foolish try

Rap's the only music I could listen to
They shoot with pride, I was moven by their principles

The student body utilized their ridicule
And it ruined my religious views
While contemplating suicide in middle school

Yeah, I was social outcast
Unspoken doubt trapped
Behind my broken mouth span

Now I'm thinking all is in vein
I wish I wrote this out then, but I'm proud to see my thoughts on the page

They could crown me king
But weren't around to see my process of change,
But when I rap, watch 'em crowd beneath my columns of pain

It's how it goes, they won't clap unless you're good at something
Ha, that's exactly why I shouldn't love them, but I do.


(chorus)
Yeah, you gotta learn from the past
Keep reality in mind, not what you learned in your class

Imagining you'll die, that's your fantasy
Wake up, screaming in your pillow 'cause you're actually alive

Just, be happy
With you are, don't just, seem happy
Things are better when we, think happy
Relax, breathe, I'm just addict for smiling, relapsing.

(Verse 2)
My only question was who am I?
I was longing for acceptance in junior high
Yeah, caught up in resentment I loosened ties
With my best friend illusions died,
Now I'm rotting in depression the root was pride

I guess it's better we break, lights out try to keep my composure
While I grieve on the sofa

'cause I regret my mistake, like how you only think when you're sober
Can't believe that it's over

I'm thinking we were on Oprah
Accusing my better half of taking what I never had

Then she'd say what I need is some closure, learn your lesson and, be the better man, brush the beef off my shoulders

Now I'm accepting the blame
Would it matter if I mentioned I changed? I'm sorry

Now we're parting, I take a hit to the chest
For now I wish you best, 'til next time
Let's forgive and forget

(chorus)
Yeah, you gotta learn from the past
Keep reality in mind, not what you learned in your class

Imagining you'll die, that's your fantasy
Wake up, screaming in your pillow 'cause you're actually alive

Just, be happy
With who you are, don't just, seem happy
Things are better when we, think happy
Relax, breathe, I'm just addict for smiling, relapsing.

Bridge:

(Verse 3)
My only question was Who am I?
I was longing for acceptance in junior high

There's no proper way to tell this
I curiously wandered into hell, like they caution taped the entrance,
demons applauding for my death wish

Not what I expected, death is
Blocking all my exits
The coffin chained respect to my youthful mind

It's like God's Angels left
As the cross payed it's debt
Give Him props, ain't a threat to be crucified, It's a choice

Praise God, 'cause I didn't know.
I could have slit my throat, left a written note, and addressed it to my folks, saying heaven only knows
Which eternity I'm spending with my soul, where's He sending me to go?

I got a noose in one hand, looking down at my dangling hair, my life in the other
I'm in my room with one chance, do it now, I could hang in there, or fight through the struggle

(Scat) (background vocals)
It's not the fact that I was killed inside...
I'm just happy to be still alive (2x)

(chorus)
Yeah, you gotta learn from the past
Keep reality in mind, not what you learned in your class

Imagining you'll die, that's your fantasy
Wake up, screaming in your pillow 'cause you're actually alive

Just, be happy
With who you are, don't just, seem happy
Things are better when we, think happy
Relax, breathe, I'm just addict for smiling, relapsing.
