Don't want a life like my parents had 
Don't want a life like my rich friends have 
Don't want to live by association 
Don't want to live the great maybe 
I want a life not a name online 
I want to live it in real time 
I want a life just so I can be 
I never asked what was in it for me 

Stealing from a thief 
My humanity 
I know my name, I know my pain 
I know my frequency 
Dancing with the beast 

As a kid I'd play make believe 
As a man I play make believe 
As a kid I'd do anything 
As a man I do everything 

I live my life centered and humane 
I live my life like a man insane 

I get up, I get up and go 
I grab a hold and reach way down 
To find something that I really believe 
I don't need to console myself 
If I don't like what I see
