Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, t-t-ah

T-t-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, tsk

This song's called sometimes

Yeah, sometimes

Okay

You used to be joyful more often

The true smile was not a rarity

Momma asked "Where my happy little boy go?"

I don't know, he ran away from me

That motherfucker don't fuck with me

That little Perry boy so naive

When I think on it, it's nothing but irony

'Cause at one point, he wanted to be like me

Ouch

Look how you turn out

You burnt out and cursed out those that helped you dear

Now when you face with the truth like they cases and suits against you, just turn to a deer in the headlights

Casting shadow puppets on the wall

The bunny just got decapitated by the dog

The human was tryna go for a walk

All a sudden, they got snatched up by a hawk

Atleast they get to fly for a little bit

It's prolly nice to fly for a little bit

Relax, it's a comedy routine, it's a bit

The crowd not laughing 'cause they don't got senses

A heckler got up and said, "What's the point of this?

You just spewing your pain, you don't know what the crux is"

I said "There don't gotta be a crux, bitch

Just SIT THE FUCK DOWN, to sip your fucking Shirley Temple"

I ain't been the temple since I fell in love with pencils

I ain't used a pencil since I found out what pens do

They illustrate that every movement you make is permanent

Echoing in eternity, crossing out, don't erase 'em

I'll be dead in a coffin

You see, I- the difference in my sickness, my- my disease-

It's not your fault

You had potential

Close both eyes and just let go

If you won't, then it's ONLY GONNA HURT WORSE!

Oh, t-ah-

I had a dream I was a shooting star

(Shooting star, shooting star!)

And all the other stars went faster than me

(YOU'RE A GOD DAMN) Embarrassment to the galaxy

He wanna be big as supernovas

Explode him and set him free

I was fourteen when Kanye convinced me that rapping on beats could save your life, it saved my life!

What would I do without Kelly's laptop?

Kept me out of trouble, kept me off the pipe!

Well, kinda

I mean, I used it to make my first album

Then I pawned that shit to buy- (WHAT, what?)

Then I pawned that shit to buy smiles!

(Smiles)
