On my tippy toes with the strength of a giant and as a giant I speak to y’all
By finding common characteristics that live between us all
I’ve been all over the world, and now as I recall
Even the biggest only require a few feet to fall
Losing everything, to me it’s new beginnings
You may respond by killing so tell me, what is defeat to y’all?
And I’m slowly getting off the pharmaceuticals telling life that it’s beautiful
I wonder if she’ll heed the call?
On campus with a second-hand iPod thinking, “Damn,
I’ve got to step it up just to compete with y’all.”
Self-conscious, but honest to a T
I said I’d give you the world but all I promised you was me
And judging by your silence I think probably you’d agree
That if your kindness equaled cash the economy would be
In a similar place, scraping dinner from our plates,
Little sorrow on our face, I wonder, where did the music go?

I’ll tell you once I’ll tell you I am not you
I’ll tell you twice, you’re not me (You’re not me)
And that’s it, (So back up)
If you ain’t trying to build you destroy
Little man you’re a boy, and that’s it (And that’s it)
So back up (So back up)
I’ll tell you once I’ll tell you I am not you
I’ll tell you twice, you’re not me (You’re not me)
And that’s it, (So back up)
If you ain’t trying to build you destroy
Little man you’re a boy, and that’s it (And that’s it)
So back up (So back up)

Yea, I always wanted to change the world…
That was… till I realized, most people just aren’t like me…
I never listened when they told me to be the better man
I’d have to learn the proper time to say goodnight to Neverland
I am the gypsy that’s at the back of the caravan
Making sure to observe the beauty in every grain of sand
That’s what I am, and whether the tables round or not
I make a toast to grace then rise the King of Camelot
I’m quicker to leave than to love, to the above never speak,
I find her up inside myself that’s why I’m never weak
Tell me, how often do you try to bend the truth? Huh?
When there’s no hope, what do you do to recoup? Huh?
Have you felt that you’ve ever been misjudged
Cause they forgot the “i” before the “n” and said you were a “grown up?”
No, I’m growing, it’s more practical
I know some 40 year olds trying to go back to school
Seeing the wisdom in both Jesus and in Judas
Knowing they could learn some more as both the teacher and the student, yea

I’ll tell you once I’ll tell you I am not you
I’ll tell you twice, you’re not me (You’re not me)
And that’s it, (So back up)
If you ain’t trying to build you destroy
Little man you’re a boy, and that’s it (And that’s it)
So back up (So back up)
I’ll tell you once I’ll tell you I am not you
I’ll tell you twice, you’re not me (You’re not me)
And that’s it, (So back up)
If you ain’t trying to build you destroy
Little man you’re a boy, and that’s it (And that’s it)
So back up (So back up)

Lights flashing across my sunglasses, I’m lost
In the blunt, so I ash it, hit it, then I’m taking off
And you can come, if you need, under the cloak
With the trees, I’m a be real, eventually I’ll break you off
And this is life, you know? We both battling
So I’m a cloaked traveler just handling my many thoughts
Could use a penny less, you speak and it’s a penny more
Don’t need you anymore so when we gonna get you lost, man?

I’ll tell you once I’ll tell you I am not you
I’ll tell you twice, you’re not me (You’re not me)
And that’s it, (So back up)
If you ain’t trying to build you destroy
Little man you’re a boy, and that’s it (And that’s it)
So back up (So back up)
I’ll tell you once I’ll tell you I am not you
I’ll tell you twice, you’re not me (You’re not me)
And that’s it, (So back up)
If you ain’t trying to build you destroy
Little man you’re a boy, and that’s it (And that’s it)
So back up (So back up)
