Epidemic - Max lyrics

[Verse 1: Epidemic] I knew this kid named Max, he was laughed at Used to go to school food in his back pack Real relaxed, cool dude with his hat back Some old timberland boots & some black pants Around his wrist no watch, just a rubber band & when cla** dismissed, the last one to stand & he ain't have a car just his mother's van Kids laughed, but Max didn't understand What makes him so worthless? But there's nothing wrong with him, what makes them so perfect? No friends, can't get no girlfriend, he's depressed So upset it don't get no worse than no respect, does it & he don't deserve this Try to say what's on his mind but he gets so nervous & little by little his feelings start to surface One day, he'll repay each & every person, watch [Hook: Kylie Marcus] Momma, I just k**ed a man Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Momma, life had just begun But now I've gone & thrown it all away [Verse 2: Epidemic] Max's momma got to work 2 jobs, don't got time for him Except for food in the fridge, she don't supply for him Go ahead & look at the kid, you don't feel sorry for him? Poppa not around, nobody to keep an eye on him One day he tried getting into sports But the neighborhood bullies ain't even let him on the court They just called him a p**y, it started messing with his thoughts That night, he was crying & he starts to hear a voice As he's thinking to himself, please have the patience Four more weeks is my graduation They got one more chance & they have to make it They don't give me my respect, I'll just have to take it Calm down Max, you're exaggerating NO I'M NOT THESE MOTHER fu*kERS JUST HAVE MISTAKEN & THEY PUSH ME AROUND, LIKE I HAVE TO TAKE IT BUT THE DAY I FIGHT BACK, they gon' have to face me [Hook] Now what we didn't know his daddy was a Vietnam vet A little gun crazy, cause he was a sergeant Before he pa**ed away, he left keys to his closet Max found them right away, underneath of his mom's bed Fast forward present day, morning of his graduation Cap & gown, look on his face, determination Momma couldn't make it, she missed another occasion She's at work & this just made him a little bit more impatient So he drove himself to school, hopped out, left the car keys Put his gla**es on & walked towards the hallways People looking at him, laughing like always But he smiled right back, with a calm face Then he walked over toward the auditorium To give a speech, since he's valedictorian He sat down waiting for the principal to call him They said his name then he stood up, that's when it all began [News/Radio show voice actor clips] [Outro: Kylie Marcus] Momma, oh oh oh Didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
