[Verse 1] Sitting and waiting for my life To begin, but that's a lie I sit and watch it pa** me by With my potential just waving, "Hi" And all the money that I earn And all the lessons that I learn Help me know just where I stand Half as important as any man [Verse 2] Sitting and waiting for my dreams To come true, and so it seems That I could dream my life away And be another sad cliche And all that people that I know And all the places that I go Help me learn just where I stand Half as important as any man [Bridge] And I'm just paranoid [Verse 3] Falling down, don't fall away Into d**h, I'm falling prey Help me up, don't help me down Don't play keep away with my crown And all those times you turned your back And when you show me what I lack You let me know just where I stand Half as important as any man
