I believe in miracles Better yet... I am a miracle The fact that I stand before you preaching these words Instead of crying my final tears as the blood gushes from my open gun wounds Well what does that tell you That I somehow managed to avoid the wrong places at the right times Or that I'm a coward who never leaves the comfort of his home One who doesn't willingly subject himself to the cruel ways of society As we all watch my kind get squashed as if we were born to live this way Afraid to walk outside our homes everyday Because if we do... If we do... We become public enemy number one
