Walkin Out the Door

Well, I forget when I began

Oh, swimmin' in the sand

I guess it hit me with a "man

Is just a man"

So I tried to get some truth

Out of these clothes that I outgrew

I cut my way to the back of the line

And I found you

But I know you don't see me like before

But you'll never catch me walkin' out that door

And I've been livin' here for years

But there's a stranger in the mirror

Well, it's a rat race, baby

Makin' money off of what we feared

And to the kids who have some words

About my friends or about her

Why don't you step out of the ghetto

Say exactly what you learned?

'Cause we ain't takin' that shit anymore

That's why you'll never catch me walkin' out that door

I wanted to be all the things that you adore

I wanted you to see a change

But I ain't that, and I know that

Well, you ain't leavin' me behind

Well, I should step up to the plate

Instead, I sleep away my days

Dreamin' 'bout a time that's long since gone by

Here I go again, isolatin' all my friends

Invitin' people to my party

But not lettin' anyone in

And it doesn't seem like it's worth fightin' for
