walkin out the door

well, i forget when i began, oh, swimming in the sand, i guess it hit me with a man is just a man, so i tried to get some truth, outta these clothes that i outgrew, i cut my way to the back of the line, and i found you, but i know you don't see me like before, but you'll never catch me walkin' out that door, and i've been living here for years, but there's a stranger in the mirror, well, it's a rat race baby, making money off of what we feared, and to the kids who have some words, about my friends or about her, why don't you step out of the ghetto, say exactly what you learn, 'cause we ain't taking their shit anymore, that's why you'll never catch me walkin' out that door, i wanted to be all the things that you adore, i wanted you to see your change, but i ain't them, and i know that, well, you ain't leaving me behind, well, i should step up to the plate, instead of sleep away my days, dreamin' 'bout a time that's long since gone by, here i go again, isolating all my friends, inviting people to my party, but not letting anyone in, and it doesn't seem like it's worth fighting for, so grab your bullshit, i'm showin' you that door
