I coulda been a
Astronaut if I wanted, but all I did was get blunted
wanted to be a pilot--now I stay on the ground and get high as shit
don't want to be a cop because I'd be caught for tampering with the evidence lockers
but I mighta made a good detective, like batman but fat and just a little defective

coulda been a politician-- if I could get over the fact their morals are missin
not just their souls, well, hell, morals and souls maybe a little of both
used to want to be a rockstar, but I'm not photogenic and I'm aware where my socks are
And honestly I don't wanna be a rapper who covers my pockmarks wth make up then talks hard

I coulda been a street busker, playing my guitar is what I get bucks for
call me mister music man, call me a pluck whore
just dont say tomorrow I suck more

I want be something only I can be and I got the feeling it inspires me
if I could figure it out, but I got this trigger of doubt
it takes a mighty force to get a river rerouted
but it's been done




I should have been
simmering in the prison yard now, stuck and bored staring prison guards down
but thanks a lot to some fluke of luck, I'm on the outside, still bored as fuck

I want be something only I can be, so fuck you future, don't lie to me
high as jesus damn christ would be because he giggles when he reads your old diary

Could have been at the top of my class, if I cared enough to suck balls
and bask in the random acts --I'm cursing like suffering succotash

I could have been
stuck to the bottom of the trashcan, but I escaped my fate with my fast hand,
writing two verses when the shit goes down then you know I'll be around to the last man
