D-DU-UDU
The first thing you see is the light.
Then, you focus on a man in a mask with a knife
as he cuts you away from everything you thought you knew about life.
And now youre in your mothers arms, wrinkled and wet.
Youre gonna spend the rest of your life trying to hard to forget
that you met the world naked and screaming, and thats how youll leave it.
In Riverside Hospital,
this was on a July morning, with a push and a pull,
and this is how I found out I wasnt quite so invulnerable.
It put the fear of God in me when I heard my daddy say,
one mistake is all that it takes.
I ended up at Central School, 1993,
and met a certain kid named Sarim at the library.
He said, theyre aint nothing about this place thats elementary.
I learned to play the guitar in the seventh grade
in order to convince everyone I was a renegade.
Thats when I learned, in Glen Rock, everybody calls a spade a spade.
I couldnt fool anyone. I couldnt even fool myself.
I was just another book on the shelf.
Nothing else.
