look at that, a brand new black hat,
on my head it goes, to hide any pain that shows,
next comes my baggy clothes
and the kicks to match,
just don't forget that hat,
cuz if anyone looks in your eyes
they might see them cry,
now i got my hat so i'm out the door just like that,
lovin lookin at these old shoes as they Cruz the way,
and day after day my shoes change,
i could tell you where ever scratch came from,
cuz I've seen every last one happen,
sit down in class this teacher can kiss my ***,
headphones straight in
let me get some 2pac bumpin  then we can begin,
i cant hear a word and i cant see a thing.
I've found my perfect spot in class where i never get harassed,
lunch time comes and i need a smoke.
as i walk smoke floatin out my mouth i look up to the sky,
i look back at my shoes and wonder why.
not why is life so hard, or why can't i have what i want,
but i wonder why i can't fly,
i love falling just imagine, what if i never had to hit the ground?
i dont think i would ever come down!
for fear i might drown in a sea of lifes mysteries,
cuz its best to never fly for too long,
you could lose your sense of right and wrong.
but if you're strong then fly along.
but don't forget that new black hat, the baggy clothes or the kicks that match.
