It's a new day, but it all feels old It's a good life, that's what I'm told But everything, it all just feels the same
And my high school, it felt more to me Like a jail cell, a penitentiary My time spent there, it only made me see
That I don't ever wanna be like you I don't wanna do the things you do I'm never gonna hear the words you say 'Cause I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be
You...don't wanna be just like you What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up, you, don't wanna be you
"Go to college, a university, get a real job," That's what they said to me But I could never live the way they want I'm gonna get by and just do my time, out of step while they all get in line I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind
Do you really wanna be like them, do you really wanna be another trend? Do you wanna be part of their crowd? 'Cause I don't ever wanna, no I don't ever wanna be
You...don't wanna be just like you What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up, you, don't wanna be you
Shake it once, that's fine Shake it twice, that's okay Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again
You...don't wanna be just like you What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up, Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me, you, don't wanna be just like you (just like you) This is the anthem throw all your hands up, y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh) Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh) Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh) Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)

This world, this world is cold But you don't, you don't have to go You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely And no one seems to care Your mother's gone and your father hits you This pain you cannot bear
But we all bleed the same way as you do And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on, if you feel like letting go Hold on, it gets better than you know
Your days, you say they're way too long And your nights, you can't sleep at all Hold on And you're not sure what you're waiting for But you don't want to no more You're not sure what you're looking for But you don't want to no more
But we all bleed the same way as you do And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on, if you feel like letting go Hold on, it gets better than you know Don't stop looking you're one step closer Don't stop searching it's not over Hold on
What are you looking for? What are you waiting for? Do you know what you're doing to me? Go ahead...what are you waiting for?
Hold on, if you feel like letting go Hold on, it gets better than you know Don't stop looking you're one step closer Don't stop searching it's not over
Hold on, if you feel like letting go Hold on, it gets better than you know Hold on

One day I woke up, I woke up knowing today is the day I will die. Cashdogg was barking, Went to the park and enjoyed it one last time. Called my mother, told her I loved her and begged her not to cry. Wrote a letter that said I'd miss her and I signed that Goodbye...
You know the happiest day of my life, I swear the happiest day of my life is the day that I die. Can you feel the cold tonight? It sets in but its alright. Darkness falls, I'm letting go. All alone but I feel fine.
We took a drive and we drove thru D.C. to see the places we lived. Long conversations, we talked of old friends and all the things that we did. Summer nights, drunken fights. Mistakes we made, did we live it right?
You know the happiest day of my life, I swear the happiest day of my life is the day that I die. Can you feel the cold tonight? It sets in but its alright. Darkness falls, I'm letting go. All alone but I feel just fine.
You know the happiest day of my life, I swear the happiest day of my life is the day that I die. Can you feel the cold tonight? It sets in but its alright. Darkness falls, I'm letting go. All alone but I feel just fine.
Did I live it right? I hope I lived it right. I know I lived it right.

When I think about my life I wonder if I will survive to live to see in 25 Or will I just fall? Like all my friends, they just keep dying People 'round me always crying In this place that I like to call my home Not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place Not everybody knows that everyone could be living their last days But the hard times will come, and we'll keep movin' on, we're movin' up Keep movin' on Life, Hope, Truth, Trust, Faith, Pride, Love, Lust On without the things we've lost The things we've gained we'll take with us And all I've got are these two hands to make myself a better man I wonder if I'll ever see the end of this With all this rain it just keeps falling On my head and now I'm calling Out to someone else to help me make it through Not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place Not everybody knows that everyone could be living their last days But the hard times will come, and we'll keep movin' on, we're movin' up Keep movin' on Life, Hope, Truth, Trust, Faith, Pride, Love, Lust, Pain, Hate, Lies, Kill, Laugh, Cry, Live, Die Some friends become enemies Some friends become your family Make the best with what you're given This ain't dying This is living! Said we're movin' on, and we got nothing to prove To anyone 'cause we'll get through We're movin' on and on and on and on... Keep movin' on Life, Hope, Truth, Trust, Faith, Pride, Love, Lust, Pain, Hate, Lies, Kill, Laugh, Cry, Live, Die Some friends become enemies Some friends become your family Make the best with what you're given This ain't dying This is living!

Spend your lazy, endless crazy Days inside my head. You're so selfish, you're not the only One who thinks he's dead. I'm paid to smile, now I'm on trial For what you think I said. Cuz I never said that everything would be okay, And I never said that we would live to see another day.
CHORUS Motivate me I wanna get myself outta this bed. Captivate me I want good thoughts inside of my head. When I fall down would you come around Pick me right up off the ground?
Im realistic, and narsosistic You say I'm selfish and absurd. You try to change me, You try to save me, You say I'm gonna learn. I'm so blind, I'm out of time, You're so unkind sometimes. I never lied, I never lied, I never lied.... Cuz I never said that everything would be ok, I never said that we would live to see another day...
Walkin on the streets of DC, on the East Coast where I live You say what's the problem, what's with this angry kid? You don't like the way I walk, or the way I talk, or the way I swing my hands You don't like the words I speak or the thoughts I think And I know you'll never understand You know-on the East Coast we ride until we die You know, oh oh oh Well there's a place inside my mind, yeah a place you'll never find There's a place inside my mind we'll leave today You know Wouldn't it be perfect, if I could sit with you? And we would change a thing or two, we'd change a thing or two We would change the way you think, we would change the way I think We can't change the way they think so we're not changin anything Chorus On the East Coast we ride, until the day we die Chorus
I don't care about a thing today, I used to bet I'm fed up, And I can hear the words you say, I wish that you would shut up, I've got responsibility, That is my liability, A menace to society, At least that's what they say to me,
CHORUS But tonight, tonight it's on tonight, I don't want your boring life, And I don't want your 9 to 5, Or anyone to tell me how to live my life,
People always tell me not to waste my time, To get a real job and get back in line, You can't say I'll never be a millionaire, Tell me this guitar won't get me anywhere, I've got responsibility, that is my liability, I'm questioning authority, they say there's not, A chance for me,
CHORUS
Your future's no future, Your future's no future, Your future's no future, I control my future.
And we've been here for so many years, Still it seems as if you're not there (are you there), Every time I talk you turn away (do you care), Isn't dad an obligation to care,
CHORUS And we've been here for so many years, So many years still it seems, So complicated, overrated, complicated this feeling is love,
Well I came in the door, I said it before, I never let the stress get, Me down no more, giving thanks to the lord, and I pray every day, Giving shouts to my peeps and this is what we say,
CHORUS
You left us one little room with a black and white TV, One eviction notice and a bill for therapy, You're living all alone you're like a dog without a bone, You're living all alone 'cause you left us all at home, Well you had a second chance but you threw it all away, A fourth and fifth and sixth but that was yesterday, Now you're sitting at a bar just drowning in your tears, Lonely in the corner while everybody cheers,
CHORUS
Six dollars in your pocket one's a secret stash, Three's for alcohol and two's for cigarettes,
