As I pass her by, I can see her cr--------y, and I'll never forget,
 
The look that was in her e----------ye, and when the music you know it played,
On  and on  and on so won't  somebody tap her on the shoulder  tell her life
 goes on?
I  still remember that night  it was the 4th of July,
 Still engraved in my mind  and I'm not surprised,
 Gang wars no guns,  hand to hand,
 You're black,  I'm white, he's purple,
 But I still  don't understand,
I'm  gonna be alright, I'm  gonna be okay, everything  is gonna be fi-i-i-i-ine,
Back  off, I wanna  be alone,
 I wanna  think it out and I'm thinking  that I want to go home
Looks  who’s laughing now  (look who’s laughing now),
Pull  it off somehow  and I said,
As I pass her by, I can see her cr--------y, and I'll never forget,
 
The look that was in her e----------ye, and when the music you know it played,
On  and on  and on so won't  somebody tap her on the shoulder  tell her life
 goes on?
3  years, 2 months, 1  week, 4 days, I am always  counting down
 'Cause there ain't  no easier way  so trust me, you know  that I tried,
 And if  I say it's easy than you know  that I told a lie
I'm  gonna be  alright,  I’m gonna be  just fine,
 1 down 5 billion  to go, am  I next in line do I really  want to know
Looks  who’s laughing now  (look who’s laughing now),
Pull  it off somehow  and I said,
As I pass her by, I can see her cr--------y, and I'll never forget,
 
The look that was in her e----------ye, and when the music you know it played,
On  and on  and on so won't  somebody tap her on the shoulder  tell her life
 goes on?
I  still remember that night  it was the 4th of July,
 Still engraved in my mind  and I'm not surprised,
 Gang wars no guns,  hand to hand,
 You're black,  I'm white, he's purple,
 But I still  don't understand,
I'm  gonna be alright, I'm  gonna be okay, everything  is gonna be fi-i-i-i-ine,
Back  off, I  wanna be alone,
 I wanna  think it out and I'm thinking  that I want to go -
3  years, 2 months, 1 week,  4 days, I am always  counting down
 'Cause there ain't  no easier way  so trust me, you know  that I tried,
 And if  I say it's easy than you know  that I told a lie
I'm  gonna be  alright,  I’m gonna be  just fine,
 1 down 5 billion  to go, am  I next in line do I really  want to know
Looks  who’s laughing now  (look who’s laughing now),
Pull  it off somehow and  I said,
As I pass her by, I can see her cr--------y, and I'll never forget,
 
The look that was in her e----------ye, and when the music you know it played,
On  and on  and on so won't  somebody tap her on the shoulder  tell her life
 goes on?
