[length: 05:18]
[00:13.38]Don’t damn me when I speak a piece of my mind
[00:15.94]’Cause silence isn’t golden when I’m holding it inside
[00:18.31]I’ve been where I have been and I’ve seen what I have seen
[00:21.57]I put the pen to the paper ’cause it’s all a part of me
[00:24.62]Be it a song or casual conversation
[00:27.42]To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations
[00:30.24]Your words once heard they can place you in a faction
[00:33.47]My words may disturb but at least there’s a reaction
[00:42.47]Ooh-yeah, ooh-ooh-yeah
[00:48.49]Sometimes I wanna kill, sometimes I wanna die
[00:51.28]Sometimes I wanna destroy, sometimes I wanna cry
[00:54.32]Sometimes I could get even, sometimes I could give up
[00:57.42]Sometimes I could give, sometimes I never give a fuck
[00:59.78]It’s only for a while, I hope you understand
[01:02.78]I never wanted this to happen, didn’t want to be a man
[01:05.80]So I hid inside my world, I took what I could find
[01:08.60]I cried when I was lonely, I fell down when I was blind
[01:11.77]Don’t damn me when I speak a piece of my mind
[01:14.93]’Cause silence isn’t golden when I’m holding it inside
[01:17.96]I’ve been where I have been and I’ve seen what I have seen
[01:20.72]I put the pen to the paper ’cause it’s all a part of me
[01:23.95]How can I ever satisfy you?
[01:27.35]And how can I ever make you see
[01:29.88]That deep inside we’re all somebody
[01:32.77]And it don’t matter who you wanna be?
[01:35.86]But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend
[01:38.87]For this man can say it happened ’cause this child has been condemned
[01:41.86]So I stepped into your world, I kicked you in the mind
[01:44.62]And I’m the only witness to the nature of my crime
[01:47.71]But look at what we’ve done to the innocent and young
[01:50.55]Whoa, listen to who’s talking ’cause we’re not the only ones
[01:53.64]The trash collected by the eyes and dumped into the brain
[01:56.48]Said it tears into our conscious thoughts, you tell me, who’s to blame?
[02:01.45]I know you don’t wanna hear me cryin’
[02:08.99]And I know you don’t wanna hear me deny
[02:16.62]That your satisfaction lies in your illusion
[02:24.58]But your delusions are yours and not mine
[02:33.33]We take for granted we know the whole story
[02:40.28]We judge a book by its cover
[02:42.75]And read what we want
[02:44.53]Between selected lines
[03:00.77]Don’t hail me and don’t idolize the ink
[03:03.27]Or I’ve failed in my attentions, can you find the missing link?
[03:06.05]Your only validation is living your own life
[03:09.16]Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time
[03:12.26]So I send this song to the offended
[03:15.45]I said what I meant and I’ve never pretended
[03:17.86]As so many others do intending just to please
[03:20.92]If I damned your point of view, could you turn the other cheek?
[04:26.69]Don’t damn me when I speak a piece of my mind
[04:28.83]’Cause silence isn’t golden when I’m holding it inside
[04:31.66]I’ve been where I have been and I’ve seen what I have seen
[04:34.94]I put the pen to the paper ’cause it’s all a part of me
[04:37.78]Don’t damn me
[04:40.74]I said don’t damn me
[04:43.42]I said don’t hail me
[04:46.65]Don’t damn me
[05:08.60]Smoke ’em if you got ’em
[05:11.78]Alright! That sucked!
