stealing from a thief

don't want a life like my parents had

don't want a life like my rich friends have

don't want to live by association

don't want to live the great maybe

i want a life

not a name online

i want to live it in real time

i want a life just so i can be

i never asked what was in it for me

i never asked what was in it for me

stealing from a thief

my humanity

i know my name

i know my pain

i know my frequency

stealing from a thief

dancing with the beast

i know my name

i know my pain

i know my frequency

as a kid i'd play make believe

as a man i play make believe

as a kid i'd do anything

as a man i do everything

i live my centered and humane

i live my life like a man insane

i live my life just so i can be

i never asked what was in it for me

i never asked what was in it for me

stealing from a thief

my humanity

i know my name

i know my pain

i know my frequency

stealing from a thief

dancing with the beast

i know my name

i know my pain

i know my frequency

i get up

i get up

i get up and go

i grab a hold and reach way down

to find something that i really believe

i don't need to console myself

if i don't like what i see

i never asked what was in it for me

stealing from a thief

my humanity

i know my name

i know my pain

i know my frequency

stealing from a thief

dancing with the beast

i know my name

i know my pain

i know my frequency
