I cleared the air and then it started over
I ain't growing up I'm just getting older
It'll not be done today
It has always been this way
I saw a face of what I might become
What I will get done and how I'll overcome
I've been waiting for so long
Oh please while I'm still young
And I, I've been told to sit tight
Yeah I, I deceived and I lied
Oh why, why'd I sit idly by
Oh I, I think I did my time
The odd man out it's always been my place
I'll tell you the truth if you'll read my face
Can we meet another time
Leave off here, would that be fine
And I, I've been told to sit tight
Yeah I, I deceived and I lied
Oh why, why'd I sit idly by
Oh I, I think I did my time
I had a clean slate when I was about to go in
But anyway I got caught up again
No surprises along the way this time
But I fought for all that's mine
And everyone that I will keep around
Everyone that will keep around
