The Way He Is

He says, "I wonder why everyone thinks they know what's best for my life?
When none of them have ever been there for any of my fights
Everyone thinks I'm the answer to all of their questions
But I'm actually a part of the problem, 'cause they always forget to mention
That this kids got a issue that you will soon find he has an attitude
It's not that he won't listen, or he's disrespectful, not even that he's rude
But he's angry at what the world has already taken from him
Because his outlook is so bright but he remains so darkly grim
If you can hold on and look deep in his eyes you'll see the fury
And he knows for certain when he says, "there are few who can cure me"
'Cause most conversation is good only for a short minute
He needs real people by his side cause they will be the only ones to help him quit it
But he knows nobody will ever see him back down or his heart diminish
Not 'til the fighting's over and his job is completely finished
He's been standing on his own two for quite sometime
And at separating the real from the fake he's quite sublime
He's got the skills and experience and most importantly the mind
But all he's never needed was a shot in the dark or maybe just the time
There are shots in the dark but they're attempts of homicide
'Cause they've hated from day one he wasn't down for THAT ride
He's lookin' to knock down doors and find the opportunity
Especially when he says" obstacles and challenges are nothing new to me"
He's a thrill seeker his heart feeding on situations shot full of adrenaline
He was on the precipe walking the line of legal and felon and almost fell in
Head over hells but his heart and mind couldn't deny the instincts he feels
Because sooner or later he might end up on the wrong side when seeking thrills
But he strolled away calmly coldly casually calculating
Cause with his mind he speaks and it keeps them cause he's captivating
He's seen the way he wants to go, bodies of the challenges lying in their own fluids
Beating them at their own games this dude walks alone, so few he's cool with
Few truly appreciate who he really is underneath all his animation
Covered head to toe in armor of his own daring creation
They can't find away to more than dent or nick his outer wear
But if they get inside they drown 'cause he's just so out there
His waters are tempest tossed and his thoughts ride storm waves
Contemplating the lightning fast inspirations for many days
And in many ways his actual depths are untouchable
It's really easy to get him cause he's just that lovable
Touch the truth without his permission he becomes a mist, away and he's gone
There are a few strings you can pull but listen close and you'll hear his heart song
The fire in his eyes blazing, burning, smoldering, simply unquenchable
And his dark gaze is not one that you keep, he IS the untestable
He closes his eyes in slumber and his body goes limp but for him there is no resting
He's been bred with precise tools some inherited most acquired to make him a weapon
A fire arm he is, one that will never be suspected was even there
He's after the demons that plague his existence searching for their secret lair
His exceptional mind his greatest asset that which will never fail
And when he returns he will have such a legend to tell
They fight over him they all want a piece of the prodigy a share
And he keep's two fingers up in the air cause they still haven't realized he will never care
Because nobody would have the audacity or could ever make him
And the way he is the only thing to stop him is death when He takes him
He's been something else for a long time since he was a young scared kid
Cause this is the only way he knows how to survive and live
They say that he's an ace, a wonder, a prodigy, a wiz
Time has hardened who he was but he won't change the way he is
