LYRICS FOR "Revelation"
I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna be like you
I just wanna live my life
One day I'ma leave this world
I wanna kill myself! I'm still debatin'
In front of a Baptist Church
Prayin' to Satan
Live on B with the Mac in a two family flat
Tired of gettin' hit in the face with a broom
My moms on her period
I got ten rocks and I need to get out
I sold them in five minutes
My poor grandmother
The b**** got AIDS
There's three things that keep me from bein' a Nazi
I'm black
No matter how bad the beatin'
My dad whooped my ass at a PTA meetin'
Stick with school
Got bored and became truant
When I had the g'all to go I just couldn't do it
I was lured into corners by the peer pressure s***
How would you feel
Gettin' threatened to get your skin ripped to bone marrow
Bet suburban kids never got rushed for their apparel
Like me
First to leave
Best believe
I've been praised and labelled as crazed
My mother was unable to raise me
An angry teenager
Gangsta rap made me act like a maniac
I was boostin'
As an excuse to do s***
No one can tell me nothin' hip hop overwhelmed me
To the point where it had me in a whole 'nother realm
It was like isolatin' myself was healthy
It felt like we was on welfare but wealthy
Compelled me to excel when school it failed me
Expelled me and when the principal would tell me
I was nothin'
I made my first million and counted it
Now look at
Stupid as s***
I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna be like you
I just wanna live my life
One day I'ma leave this world
I was raised with a rifle and mask
Steadily beatin' my psychiatrist ass just for askin' about my past
I was never on that punk s***
Can get yo' belove abducted
You couldn't pay swift to give a f***
Was crazy like my father
Far as probation
I violate at any time
I grew up steadily masturbatin' inside of cells
Young as hell
You could tell I wasn't lenient
Lynched and slapped teachers
You don't know what dawgs go through
Sippin' liquor with my old dude
I'm quick to curse you
If you ever again mention a curfew
Look
They don't even listen when I tell them I'll be right back
This nice beautiful house ma
'Cause you know daddy's a drunk and he don't clean s***
And yesterday he hit me like a grown f*****' man
I couldn't stand up to him
I'm sick of this
That I can get a loaded four-fifth and put a f*****' end to this
I got no friends and I can't get a b****
Only thing I have is dirty magazines and sticky fingertips
Nothin' to smile about
Got me an automatic nine
Wait 'til school's over
Kids goin' cuckoo
Since my friend is this new dude
Losin' his noodle learn that people don't like you
The football jocks is
Popular kids in school is now pickin' on him
Burn out youngsta niggaz now hittin' on him
And his teacher in his english class keep flippin' on him
And now he's grounded with no allowances
For drinkin' forty ounces
And why the f*** I gotta ride the bench coach?
Already got expelled for wearin' a trenchcoat
All I ever seen is
(Violence
Told me to keep silence
It's apparent that my parents weren't parents at all
That's why I blew out my brains and murdered you all
I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna be like you
I just wanna live my life
One day I'ma leave this world
