Head full of fire and a heart filled with hate. A child so unloved so through music he escapes. He loves the kinda songs that holler in your face, and he'll gladly take a beating to the songs when they are played. His mama wanted different but her man would always say, "son, you won't amount to nothing cause you've got shitferbrains!"
I remember all the venues where the bands would play those songs. He'd be right up front just-a singing along. A stage dive and a high five, we'd love to watch him dance. The nicest guy you'd meet, still a kid without no plans. His teachers called him different boy, and they would always say, "son, you won't amount to nothing cause you've got shitferbrains!"
Oh I wonder about the difference, in his life what would it make, if his parents and his teachers would change the words that they'd say? Cause we are all just people looking for our way. We need a hand to hold and a light to guide our way. They say we won't amount to nothing if we've got shitferbrains.
It's eleven years later, he's now turning twenty-one. All his friends went off to college, something he wished he could've done. It would've made his mama gladly say, "I'm proud of you son!". And the words of that man would've finally come undone. Instead he pulled the trigger, he left a letter that would say, "I won't amount to nothing cause I've got shitferbrains."
I know I won't amount to nothing cause I've got shitferbrains.
