Role Models

Please believe me, that's the kids from D.C. | Quickly become known getting smoked on TV | And honestly if my eyes didn't deceive me | I would think it probably never happened to be me | Got it stuck in my mind like a repeat | Wanna be better, give her my shirt before she leaves | I'ma need that back, but my heart, you can keep | Be there for my unborn son, make him read 'peace' | I miss a role model, someone to come home to | Now, I'm standing here all alone in this phone booth | Flipping through my memory like a deadbeat uncle | Thinking I tried to fit in, I was losing my own youth | And that was half of the time | Back before I knew I was losing half of my mind | Thought that you'd be back, but you've been gone for a while | Now my future seems to fall through the sky || Something I can hold on to | Someplace I can belong to | I've been worrying bout me lately | There's no one who's gonna save me | Something I can hold on to | Someplace I can belong to | I've been worrying bout me lately | There's no one who's gonna save me || Only thing I can look up to is the stars up above | When I ask them what to do, they never show me no love | So I keep on trying, finding my way out on my own | Never ending trip into the unknown, yeah | I want real love, some like Will and Aunt Viv | We could cuddle up, sleep over at yo crib | You ain't gotta wonder, I'm not one of your kids | I guess these things only happen in show biz | No role model, nobody I could speak to | Foul intentions make a young kiddo turn evil | Can't decipher whether it's bad or good people | Building up trust issues cause all of them gonna leave you | There ain't nothing new under the sun | Baby go put down your knife, I'ma put down my gun | And in my lifetime there's nothing I haven't done | To make myself proud, look at what I've become, whoa || Something I can hold on to | Someplace I can belong to | I've been worrying bout me lately | There's no one who's gonna save me | Something I can hold on to | Someplace I can belong to | I've been worrying bout me lately | There's no one who's gonna save me||
