Thought when I grew up
I would be the same as the ones who gave me my last name
I would not give in, I would not partake
In the same old drugs, everyone else takes
I'm better than that, I'm better than that
I'm living my life so I go to Heaven and never come back
But look where I'm at, look where I'm at
I'm living the life that I said I wouldn't, I wanna go back
I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her son wasn't far away
But now I'm all messed up out in LA
'Cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with God's name
But it's been so long since I last prayed
And now all messed up and my heart's changed
'Cause I care more about what other people say
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
'Cause I care more about what other people say
I wish I could shelter the boy I knew
From the constant hell I put him through
'Cause I'm all grown up and I'm black and blue
I could use some tape, I could use some glue
I'm better than that
I'm better than that
I should be living my life
So I go to heaven
And never come back
I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her son wasn't far away
But now all messed up out in LA
'Cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with God's name
But it's been so long since I last prayed
And now all messed up and my heart's changed
'Cause I care more about what other people say
Yeah-yeah-yeah
'Cause I care more about what other people say
I thought when I grew up
I would be the same
As the ones who gave me my last name
I used to call my mom every Sunday
So she knew her son wasn't far away
But now I'm all messed up out in LA
'Cause I care more about what other people say
I used to not take chances with God's name
But it's been so long since I last prayed
And now I'm all messed up and my heart's changed
'Cause I care more about what other people say
Yeah-yeah-yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah)
Yeah-yeah-yeah (no-no)
Yeah-yeah
'Cause I care more about what other people say
