Stealing from a Thief

Don't want a life like my parents had Don't want a life like my rich friends have Don't want to live by association Don't want to live the great maybe I want a life not a name online I want to live it in real time I want a life just so I can be I never asked what was in it for me Stealing from a thief My humanity I know my name, I know my pain I know my frequency Dancing with the beast As a kid I'd play make believe As a man I play make believe As a kid I'd do anything As a man I do everything I live my life centered and humane I live my life like a man insane I get up, I get up and go I grab a hold and reach way down To find something that I really believe I don't need to console myself If I don't like what I see
