I wish the government would quit tappin' phones in the ghetto</br>(Leave us alone) I wish my student loans were all settled</br>I wish they'd quit riggin' elections, the shit is depressin'</br>Bet your bottom dollar Bush wins again, no question</br>I wish AIDS didn't exist</br>I wish I didn't have flashbacks of my cousin slittin' his wrists</br>I wish there weren't so many single mothers and deadbeat dads</br>Yeah

Two roads diverged in a wood, I took the one less travelled</br>I'm patient so that's one less hassle</br>If I dream it, I can live it</br>I've seen the light with vivid imagery</br>I need to write with fits of energy</br>But it's hard tryin' to get where I'm goin'</br>Without a hint or an omen</br>It's too late to turn around</br>Perseverance, gotta learn it now</br>But I'm stubborn how</br>Am I supposed to survive this rollercoaster hurtlin' to the ground?
