Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Chad
Showered with love from mom and dad
Loved to play sports and video games
Went to church and studied, getting straight A's

One day as a teenager, mental illness hit
Turned his life into living hell and a bowl of shit
Friends turned on him, and family too
Started thinkin suicide, planned to do it too
Ran away to California, got caught instead
Then off to therapy, poppin those meds
The thoughts in his head, he could never stop em
Medication, meditation, pray to god and
Soon he was outcast, labeled a bitch
Never gave up, no matter how hard it gets
The little boy grew to be a fool, laughin, ballin
Headed off to college, became an alcoholic
Fuckin up jobs, relationships, and health
Grew to resent the world, and hate himself
Throughout all the bullshit, the boy had his music
Used it to make new friends, get some love from what he was doin
Revenge on the old friends, have the last laugh, ha
Real Joker shit, who he mad at now huh?
Sad or depressed, bein a bitch, why can't he just
Pull it together, have a wife and kids
I don't know honey, let's kick him to the curb
Send him to a psych ward, flip him the bird
Whatever, I don't need your love anyway
One way ticket to greatness, get the fuck out my way!
