Can't you see what he's trying to be
He's trying to be like you and me
Can't you see what he's trying to be
He's trying to be like…
With all those signposts he missed
Can't you see what he's trying to be
He's trying to be like you and me
Can't you see what he's…
…trying to be
He's trying to be like you and me
Can't you see what he's trying to be
He's trying to be like you and me
Can't you…

…want to scream, hiding the face, I don't want you to see, making a mess of myself trying to be like you, and everyone else…
…to see, making a mess of myself trying to be like you, like you..
Losing my faith when I say I believe,
Looking…
…at you for the answers I need, walking away from myself, trying to be like you, and everyone else. Everyone else..
Talked to me, talked to me, talked…

…in a state of disgust
Hating but still trying to be like us
Twist the lime on the corona, grab my crime diploma…
…face in a state of disgust
Hating but still trying to be like us
Now, here they come again, the gold diggas trying to get paid…
…your face in a state of disgust
Hating but still trying to be like us
We talk shit 'cause we are the shit
Never looked back since…

I'm flesh and bones
Only flesh and bones
And I'm giving up with trying to be like you
I would rather be, rather be a lost cause…
…you're flesh and bones
Only flesh and bones
And I'm giving up with trying to be like you
I would rather be, rather be a lost cause…
…on me
Why do you even bother?
Quit messing around, just say
What do you whant from me?
And I'm giving up with trying to be like…
