Errick featuring Daniel
"Gypsy"
Constantly movin’ just for the sake
A new house and a new bed to make
It’s like they want to keep the name ‘Gypsy’
I always knew my parents were hippies
[ERRICK:]
We get settled in and 7 years go by
I just got out of Junior High
"Let’s move so Errick’ll never adapt"
Never - my ass - we all know that’s crap
But why did we have to move two hours away?
Couldn’t we have just stayed
Back in Maryland where I was happy
With my life – Why’d you make me deal
Livin’ in VA's cool when not filled with weird happenings
Can’t you just let me feel
And let me use the terms
"Yea, I grew up there" - Agh, it gets on my nerves
For once I was secure with my surroundings
I let down all the guards around me
I was getting used to the real world
Talking to a girl in a protected whirl
Spinning freely - Coquettishly laughing
Through the phone, on MSN, admitting
Awakened by the scare that I’d never see her
Again, but oh how much I had to learn
A 15 year old high on life
Ever seen that without drugs intertwined?
Didn’t think so - point blank period
Thank God enlightenment let me get near Him
[DANIEL:]
I come from all backgrounds
Each one a different fate
Been shifted too much
But they just can’t relate
They can’t see what they’ve done
Never will, it’s too late
My brains so f***ed in, it won’t operate
How you gonna b**** and say I sit with the "wrong crowd"
Like I had a f***in' choice when you decided to move around
"All you do is get drunk and smoke weed"
Yes I do what I want when I feel the need
Isn’t that what you did?
Didn’t bother to ask me
Drag my a** to a new place
This ain’t the f***in' 50’s
Ain’t nobody like you, unless you think you’re the s***
They don’t come up to you and ask you to do s***
This ain’t a f***in' cakewalk ain’t no simple task
"You need a girlfriend"
Oh why?
So you can move and I’ll never get the chance at a life
That I wanted for so long but you just couldn’t provide
Told me I was s*** because YOU ruined my life
Selfish b****es kiss my a** goodbye
Just leave your child in a trash can, let him die
Ain’t causin nothing but problems
You wanna live the good life
Movin' where the money's at, don’t give a f*** 'bout your family
Have the audacity to tell me that it’s all my f***in' fault
Prick you couldn’t keep your job so you drag us down with you
Wavin' your money around being tied down to your possession
F***in' your family over seems your fatal obsession
Takin' out all this pain in the freedom of self-expression
Your death will be the cause of early childhood aggression
[ERRICK:]
Personification in its purest form
The move yelled out at me in a foreign
Language - "I don’t think you’ll like it here"
And that was what I had come to fear
I was so scared when I got out of the car
Once my mom drove away, it seemed so far
Going to a new school, so depressing
Listening to girls talk about themselves obsessing
Over how their make-up wasn’t on right
Like I’m supposed to listen to these non-bright
Bimbos in disguise of being something better
But they’re not; they’re stupid and judgmental
They also don’t know the fundamentals
Of growing up and welcoming newbies to society
The high school is such a barrier in sight of me
I have to enter this blockade every day
And hope to not foreshadow the gray
Clouds of manifest destiny rising above
Forcing me to recite "All you need is love"
It’s crazy how I’m expected to fit in
On the first day of high school - yea, I’ma win
At this new game, at this huge obstacle
I’m sorry but I’m not ‘unstoppable’
I have feelings and I wish someone would
Just come up to me, ask for my name, like they should
Other than the teachers, the stupid power tripped out monkeys
Like they graduated from high school, such flunkies
I sat out in the hallway on the first and second days
The cafeteria is supposed to be free and I’m able to raise
Up my book-bag and my hands and declare a table mine
And I should have friends racked up, nice and straight, in a line
But I don’t, I’m a weirdo, nobody likes me
Had I of known of what the future was like, I’d have never believed
Any of what had happened
The memories now which I don’t lack and
The time everything needs for things to come true
All of my dreams were obviously of you
I’m a gypsy some would say
Hell, we all know where it came from, obey
The elders, obey the teachers, obey your own life’s priorities
You’ll find out I’m cool, although I’m not sporty
