GO LISTEN TO THE ALBUM SO FAR HERE


LYRICS:


Lemme take you back to Christmas Day,

Back at my Mom’s house around ‘98,

I’ve been wishing so bad for a miracle,

When I got my first guitar,

it was spiritual,

I use to play that shit for hours a day,

I would even skip school just to get a play,

Then we fast forward right into the thou,

I got my keyboard, and a laptop now,


I’m browsing Newgrounds all day and night,

Watching all the greats grow,

And I wished that I,

Could join them all on the wall of fame,

But I, was way too young and too dumb,

So I, had to practice and practice,

Til’ the time was right,

And I made a few mistakes and paid the price,

I failed many times and still roll the dice,

So to say that I’m lucky,

Just isn’t right,


2009 I turn fourteen,

I’m learning how to rhyme,

And set the scene,

But my ass was getting beat five times a week,

By some deadbeat bullies, and my family,

Never once stood up and fought for me,

Except for my aunt, you would not believe,

All the crazy fucking things that have happened to me,

The fact I’m still alive is crazy to see,


Used and abused by the people who,

Were suppose to love me and protect me too,

Including my father who was once my muse,

He’s dead to me now, and I wonder who,

Still believes the fucking story that he would spew,

About how he didn’t hurt me and my Mother too,

I bet he’s kicking his own ass right now,

After hearing that his kid outlived his doubt,


Speaking of my Mom, we had it rough,

Moved houses several times, and times were tough,

But she wasn’t any better, and to make it worse,

She’d mix her morphine with her hurtful words,

So every night we would fight til’ the light,

See the hate in her eyes, such an awful sight,

It makes me wonder why I even try,

To fix the unfixable bond but I,


Have finally seen the light and touched the sky,

I’m gonna set fire in the booth tonight,

Eventually I stumble back to this site,

Not nearly as live now, but that’s alright,

It’s a brand new era, and as YouTube dies,

They’re all coming back, and again we rise,

There’s so much talent, such a pretty sight,

I think it’s time to make my first move tonight,


They all call me Mr. Oddity,

Cos’ I’ll never fit into any clique, you see,

But no matter where my life takes me to next,

Imma rise from the ashes, and fuck the rest,

The lyrics that I spit come from the heart,

I wish I could of been here from the start,

But regardless I’ll keep going and for the while,

I hope what I do will all make you smile.

GlowBoyMusic responds:

I am so glad Mr. Oddity has made someone smile, as he always wishes to do! Do be sure to check out the album in the playlist (so far!) and listen to more of his ‘oddness’

mad love, Glow.
