You don't like me you like who I try to be I'm just like you, tied up to wires and strings What you desire is what I'm desiring I'm tempted to set me neighbor's house on fire and leave Of course this all is executed privately Everything you think of me – execute it entirely Including the Christianity / rap half-breed I only CAN escape insanity WHEN I'm rapping What's insane is a third of the world's hungry But we couldn't care less about third world countries Our American hearts tick with irony Until every selfish, last beat dies expiring Children are invisible and we can't see That's we're the ones with money and could keep it all from happening See, you liking me is unlikely You don't like who I am – you like who I try to be You don't like me, you like who I imitate I'm not Jesus; I bow down and kiss the face Of unselfishness, hell is irrelevant Hell is self-centered, jealous, embezzlement There's nothing good about me – let the hate begin And because this is something radio stations spin I'm making amends by taking my friends And showing the difference between spraining an ankle and breaking a limb Brace yourself? you should be bracing your kids Art of persuasion – before you change into them
They've been noticing limits to the way that you live They stopped living for them and started taking a risk Change the world if you change your attitude You have enemies and I'm afraid they're after you If you could see through me, you wouldn't be liking me But you may forever like the person that I try to be You don't like me, you like who inspires me Short fuse, my moods can swing violently I'm not who you think I am in your wildest dreams There's a rivalry battle between my mind and me But don't be minding me, I can finally die in peace I'm en route to you finding silence inside of me But silence is threatened by me, writing ink My well-being packed her bags and she's trying to leave I'm trying to promote ideas unbiasly But, it's unlikely that it will be done quietly To tell the truth, that's only one side of me Fighting to lie and trying to hide what lies beneath I'm behind the wheel and I might fall asleep Without love your entire life is obsolete You people think since I'm able to love That you would like me if you had a clue what I'm capable of You don't like me, I'm not trustworthy You don't like me
