Skateboards and Glory


I don't even know what I'm doing

But I've got a skateboard and a bass to play

If you don't watch out I'll throw my skateboard in your face

I hit my head when I was boarding

Ever since then I've been kind of slow

I'm just mad confused and I don't know what to do

My Dad's a bitch and my Mom is too

But he said "Hey I've got something you'll like"

You'll forget what you forgot and come into the light

I went and believed him and I got my neck wrung

Now I'm all alone in my car and I feel dumb

I hang my head out the window and I'm like ow wow

City lights pass by and I feel like I'll drown

Then one day I got so low it had to circle around

Call it hormones call it fate but I'm speeding now

My car's going fast it's not broken down

I got a cat and a girl and I had to slow down and relax

I wish I could claim it but someone's got my back

I'm still a little crazy but now I'm not jacked

My bullets in a barrel and it's not in my back
