Not gonna keep up my guard to prove I'm hard   or put on some act to earn your respect   cause that's not the type of life I want to live   and that's not the type of energy I want to give   I guess I'm not cool according to you   for having some friends who don't seem to fit in   well that's not the type of life I want to live   and that's not the type of energy I want to give   I guess you don't see cause you seem to be    real tough but living in misery   well that's not the type of life I want to live   and that's not the type of energy I want to give
