Once upon a time,
I wasn't so corrupt.

Once upon a time,
I wasn't so fucked up.

Once upon a time,
I wasn't so abrupt.

Once upon a time, Once upon a time, once...


in a different space and time,
with a different frame of mind,
I nearly lost mine.


Let me tell you a little story about the glory of my past
before steaks and lobster
before high class
i used to be an ass

slept on a couch for a couple months
collecting change from the cushions
just to pay for lunch

Once upon a time, Once upon a time, Once upon a time.

sittin in the basement
getting my face bent
listen to pearl jam number 10

caught up calculating
contemplating playing aces
to a table full of faces
been to all sorts of places
know the outcome of horse races

never too big to forget where my home is

philadelphia,
no where wealthier
no where healthier
no where stealthier

Once upon a time i wasnt so corrupt
once upon a time i wasnt so fucked up
once upon a time i wasnt so abrupt.

in a different frame of mind
in a different space in time
i nearly lost mine

Author's Note: jammin in my friends basement i freestyled the chorus 'once upon a time i wasnt so corrupt/wasnt so fucked up/wasnt so abrubt' over heavy drum, bass, and guitar. Sounded pretty cool but we didnt record. im working on lyrics and this is what i got. i need to change a lot. any suggestions would be nice as this is pretty raw
