I tried to give up
But the pain just kept on coming
Seven months, eleven days
A long time to be running
Away from the mistakes
Away from the insaneness
That left some blind
Left some paralyzed
And some people all they talk about is how we act funny
How we run around trying to be the enemy
They tell you lies but I'll tell you this
There's a truth that you cannot miss
Spreading gossip about how we ran away
How we let our people down
How we made so many mistakes
Here's one thing I can tell you, bro
It wasn't my mistakes that I ran from
It was a mishap of all mishaps
Mistake of mistakes
We tried reasoning, but you didn't take the bait
Didn't realize what the truth was until it was too late
And now all we've got is a failure to communicate
I never wanted us to be this way, never
Little by little, assured it was for the better
I never thought I'd be where I am
With a cell phone, hackey sack and mello yello can
But one thing I know for sure
I'm better off than you
Cos my mistakes just get erased
And you're left confused
