It's a Shame

It's a shame to change the game
When my mind is a flame
You always told me sit down and behave
Why I'm not yours to shape
It's a shame to think I'm lost
It's going to come at your cost
Because you're never going to last
Not until that song comes past

Didn't you see me raise my hand
Reprimand I was once a kid now I represent a man
I'm sick and tired of you preaching to me preacher
You're supposed to be teaching me teacher
Pupil to be what I aspire to be to help me see
Through these sentences
Grammatically I am dramatically
Altering my sense and since
I've been sentenced I ain't sure of what tense this is
Past my ego wants me to pass
My alter Ego saying
You've tried your best there's nothing else to do
So off I set, and off I jet
I ain't down so why am I upset
I ain't down, so why am I upset

It's a shame to change the game
When my mind is a flame
You always told me sit down and behave
Why I'm not yours to shape
It's a shame to think I'm lost
It's going to come at your cost
Because you're never going to last
Not until that song comes past

Took the blue or the red maybe it was both
When I smoked
My friend asked me how I felt
Didn't have an answer couldn't find the right words
His father died from cancer
You gonna provide what the answer is
Is that from school or my imagination
What's the answer
Where's the equation
Participating
Like I'm never going to make it
Can I get my award to show my daddy that I made it?
I mean I passed at least I tried right?
It's what you saying all this time
No need to try to explore my mind
Find my grind to fine and define my life and I
Will, recognize my skill
All for one and only one to kill, Ms

It's a shame to change the game
When my mind is a flame
You always told me sit down and behave
Why I'm not yours to shape
It's a shame to think I'm lost
It's going to come at your cost
Because you're never going to last
Not until that song comes past

I'd love to Say that I have dreams
Or at least I dreamed a dream
But I wasted them on cars and pretty models in my pre-teens
So reality in-fact is actuality
Actually it's more fake than fiction
And there's only one thing missing
A hero
I wish I could talk myself up call myself a Superhero
My teacher beat my dreams
Said there is nothing to imagine
Fantasy is fantasy
There's nothing fantastic about having fans you see
You gotta be like everyone else
Look at Simon over there
An A grade student
To be like him you have to pay attention, and forget imagination
He doesn't belong in this room
There went my light and here comes my gloom
Sorry Mr imagine, I'm sorry for your doom
