(album: A Gift Before I Go)

I look at how you live and I see how sad you are
You´re the one who brought you down you could´ve gone so far
Now you just do drugs all day deteriorating fast
And you´re so f*cked from shooting dope your veigns are all collapsed
I don´t wanna be like you...so I won´t

I take a look at my parents and see how they scream and fight
My mother even tells me that she cries herself to sleep at night
Dad´s gone to the bottle but he says he´s doin´ fine
And all my younger siblings are being raised on ugly lies
I don´t wanna be like you...so I won´t

Once a revolutionary fighting for a cause
Now a successful businessman who´d never break a law
You say "Thank God I grew up I was such a stupid kid"
But if everyone gave up like you no one would ever win
I don´t wanna be like you...so I won´t

And I won´t let anyone tell me what I´m suppossed to be
I won´t bow down to authority
I won´t compromise I´m gonna stay angry
I won´t ever let this world break me
I don´t wanna be like you...so I won´t
I don´t wanna be like you...so I won´t
No I won´t
