Called a friend the other day
To see what kind of words hed say
He said, "I just met a man down here and his girlfriend dont like you"
So give me a number, her address
And Ill see if I can do my best
To avoid her the next time Im pa**ing through
Never been much for following rules
Always go out and act the fool
And something bad would happen by and by
I cant say Im always proud of myself
But I dont wish I was somebody else
Infact Id rather be me then you
But a lot of people dont like me
Not my music I hear; personally
Gonna tell you how to act and what to say
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
I guess Id rahter be an orphan then a slave
Well I went to a party in the middle of the night
Crawling up the stairs and thats alright
I pictured the who place in flames and it made me smile
I wonder why I thought such terrible things
A voice in my head heard the telephone ring
Picked up and said, "weve been wondering for a while"
Walked in a wall, spelt in the dirt
Got punched in the face I admit that it hurt
And I had enemies that I call my friends
But it dosnt matter if I get low down
Because Im the one riding on the hear right now
And all I gotta do is use my imagination
But a lot of people dont like me
Not my music I hear; personally
Gonna tell you how to act and what to say
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
I guess Id rahter be an orphan then a slave
Well theres been sometimes I was under the gun
And when I was I intended to run
It was important but it wasnt worth dying for
Someone said he who fights and runs away
Can avoid getting k**ed another day
So I made a point of every window and every door
But all these people they gather round
My heart goes backwards my head drops down
I hear my voice say things I told it not to
Couldnt say who it was directed at
And why I chose to say something like that
And now what I truly plan to do
But a lot of people dont like me
Thats what I hear now out on the street
Wanna tell you how to act and what to say
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
I guess Id rahter be an orphan then a slave
I guess Id rahter be an orphan then a slave
