I remember back then, I was always the soft kid
Always tried to listen and do what my momma did
But that wasn’t me, sorry Ma I changed now
I know you won’t like it, but now I ain’t a damn clown
I ain’t the same kid
I ain’t the lame kid
You follow all the rules
You’ll be the no name kid
I don’t back down
I’m finally the strong one
If you want the sweet kid
You got the wrong one
You did a good job, Ma
And I love you for that
But you gotta move on
Can’t just live in the past
Gotta let me do my own thing
Live my own dream
That’s what you always taught me
Yeah, you always showed me
I gotta do this
Even if you don’t believe
Maybe one day
You’ll see me on the tv screen
And you’ll be proud of me
With tears running down your cheek
I’ll look and see you in the crowd
Too stunned to speak
And I know
You hate the person that I’ve become
So did I
Tried to resist and overcome
But I finally accepted
This deeper connection
Just might be a blessing
I shouldn’t reject it
Nobody stays the same forever
That includes me
I know looking back
This’ll be confusing
You’ll wonder where you went wrong
Well you didn’t, Mom
I just went through shit
Even you couldn’t protect me from
Always tried to listen and do what my momma did
But that wasn’t me, sorry Ma I changed now
I know you won’t like it, but now I ain’t a damn clown
I ain’t the same kid
I ain’t the lame kid
