[Verse 1: Sweetheartz]
My life
I wish it were a movie
If I was a star near and far
Represent
Step back, jump the cracks
Baby's breaking momma's back
I'm cut out with a jack matter of fact
I nawed my own way out of that
With my first tooth
Cracked from my momma's shell
Following my nose to a better smell
When I got caught up in gold lame'
Sipping at picnics with teddy
At backyard tea parties
She keeps her room clean by hiding when her mommy yells
Her clothes need to be picked up off the floor
So she makes her best friend in the new home
Where the moss and the palms are grown all about the swing sets
She sings just to free herself and feel like the queen
Ready for her picture taken in one hot second
She sprouts legs, gets in tune, and gets out of the South Dregs
It gets old bringing your backpack to school
Jumping cracks between
Running from your jumpers
And more from the casual days you used to want
But then when the day comes
You'd rather that red sweater
Because it just fits
Though it looks mad dumb
So our new homie said hello, she left school with a high-five
And took off with the new books to get live-education
And vacation all rolled-up in one stroke
But that's when I was six years and Cameron was eight
I got to hear another dear Barros was to be born and that date was near
Now, I didn't know how to say fear, but I felt my stomach quake
And my niceness of life just slipping away
And I knew that someday, I'd be giving my car away to him
That younger brother, the young rock-boxer from yawn dawn Denver-Denver
I just got a new job: my life in the middle
So without a watch, I could pack and give up
So I ran away, just up the street would be where I would sleep
In the cal-de-sac where we see foxes
And where they drug my blind cat Mogur, Meow!
I guess it was them I was planning to eat
Because I'm my sister's twin spirit, and time's training for a trophy
I grew up slowly, but I learned how to know both feet
Because by moving, I kept both far from apart
They went right left right, every day another spot, new picture, another life
My life
I wish it were a movie
If I was a star near and far
Represent
So used to being open, I met my first friend
Found out who's hot in the play pin out at Jefferson
I was turning ten when I got my first crush
And got that men and women were different
Gave a good punch
With my right fist for good fight
Learned that I'd been taught right, was given the Go Green Light
That's when just my whole world changed
From Girl Scouts and tap dancing, to Entertaining
How I became in it was with my eyes shin-sinning
For the Jew who got to play Hansel
The next minute, it's Jana Barros for that role
And singing, dancing, hand in hand with every band in town
Every product producing
Every player's having party's put me on introducing
I got in with wonderful theatrics
But at night I'm Patrick's on the back porch, or wherever we are
Blicks for writing everything down that I would, could, should, need, have-to remember
Should have started in Denver
But my crew in Montana made me one banana could hadna, wouldna, shouldna, surrender
Surf ski snow blow cold Tapanga, get shit out for a margarita
Got down in the South
Whuffed a fella who tasted like purple
But durple slurple that sugar stanks at clambakes in my volverple
But good God! Would these skater haters not bend over?
Blowing guns, shots as I run up the street pops
Shooting man drops by the house where I shot my first and last film noir
They're not doing those no more
Just to practice the threats, I brought my own cookie jar
And you're not ready for the guy
That they did through the door
They shot all over with guns just for putting in ones
Open, just reach in for a cookie and got poker chips instead and money
And yet when I'm given a taste, I'm wanting more
Tomorrow's looking clean, the Barros' tomorrow can not be far
The family's been commuting for six years
I'm like, having a cold beer
Went from white peaks to black peers
Set thank-you notes on the scale
I don't have it in me to fail
So fuck your thanks until I'm through with...
Thank you, I'm bringing you with...
For holding on as far I've gone...
I'm not starting a fight
And I'm larger than right...
And I'm taking the wrong on tour where I can sing this song at night and blow up all night long!
My life
I wish it were a movie
If I was a star near and far
