Story behind the song
Wanted to explain where I came from and where I'm at now, and the people that didn't agree with who I was then and now, and they can fuck off.
Lyrics
I was born in south o.c.
now everybody locally knows me
but if you look at me closely
you start to notice things
im not what I seem
so let me blow off so steam
September 21, 1983
A baby is born which would become me
lived near the lake in M.V.
Played with Legos and toy cars
listened to my parents argue and develop more scars
sometimes it was hard
put my face in the pillow til I couldnt hear it no more
tried to beat my sonic the hedgehod top score
no friends at all at castille
and i ate alone like it was my last meal
left the place behind
hated every kid there with all my heart and all my mind
public school was too rough and too rough
so junior high was private
just like I was
fifty kids and not a damn friend
until i started spiking up my hair
tried to skate but I sucked real bad
and the better at that the more friends you had
teased for everything imaginable
i wasnt even able
to get a girlfriend
it felt like the world's end
left junior high for a called s.m.
after school detentions
and did i mention
referrals
didnt fit the mold
tried to be myself and be bold
but for the teachers it got real old
so finally i was cool
or so i thought i was
a lot was done
and it was a lot of fun
until the dean said "you're kicked out son"
it's a good fucking thing i knew kids at mission
cus listen
otherwise i would have been admitted to capo
what a fucking hassle
but i passed the laptop classes
no need for hall passes
or teachers that were asses
at last i was over
now i'd just rather be sober
for all you deans at catholic private schools - fuck you
for all you faggots who never let me cool - fuck you
for all you rule writers and style biters - fuck you
cus im myself now
your opinion doesn't mean shit cus i'm myself now
got the dot com
with so many fucking hits
and so many girls and digits
and kids
i know on every block
know where the parties are at non stop
made the shirts and make the cash
short skirts and lots of laughs
so back off
im myself now, accept it or not
it wont change, im myself now
for all you self righteous kids
too insecure to accept people
learn to treat me as your equal
or avoid me altogether
with your clever one line responses
and internet taunts
alright i got the hint kid
thanks a lot
so im not who you wanna be
i understand you got back
but let me remind you
this country is free
----to each his own, late----
