It's amazing how he was able too keep his mind |
| [00:43.40] |

| [00:45.77] |
Lost years mentally hard to digest |
| [00:47.65] |

Brainstorming off of ideas they plot it big |
| [00:54.65] |

Month after month somebody forgot to tell him |

| [01:03.46] |
Accumulation of trepidation and frustration |

Plus alot of dust collected on his application |
| [01:08.46] |
He stayed honest straight up and down like 6 O'clock |
| [01:11.40] |
And clicked yes in that "have you been convicted" box |
| [01:14.65] |
Everything you try to do just seem to fall though |

The real truth is he knew what kind of dude he was |
| [03:33.91] |
