as if i still want that

by Antwan Fields - Aries

a while ago i used to feel useless and ugly and not worth anybody's time, which they used to get high
and now out of my shell, of my cocoon 
a beautiful winged butterfly
a smile thats a smirk, genuine happiness i feel
and hell, im not even wearing teal
and the cries and screams of selfishness i step over on my way to my heaven
the industry, the time will be ten-eleven
the song bursts forth and i erupt
and i ask scornfully of a girl "do i really want that?"
the fire is burning, im happy at your spurning
because if you hadn't i'd never have found out the truth
about the way i am
so i look at you
remember how you used to be too good for me?
now im just too good for you to come and see 
so i scornfully watch as you get fat
then she asks me and i sneer "as if i really want that"
and i fly away.
