Goodbye It could happen to you A defect from the wasted outskirts of Los Angeles With a crumpled-up pass for the RTD And no authority or trajectory On the brink of insanity Yeah, you better believe it 'Cause it's written all over your face Just a neighborhood reject Out of step and out of place You better believe it Would you ever have thought, persistence Could prevail against the almost Unbearable weights of the system? With nothing better to do And no one else who you can look up to Yeah, you better believe it 'Cause it's written all over your face A political defect Out of step and out of place You better believe it And the future is bright When ideas run astray So turn out the light A punk can't have a say Sometimes desire is all that's there Who said life was fair? Better believe it Yeah, you better believe it 'Cause it's written all over your face Just a neighborhood reject Out of step and out of place You better believe it You better believe it You gotta believe it 'Cause it's written all over your face A political defect Out of step and out of place You better believe it You gotta believe it It's written all over your face As a cultural reject Out of step and out of place You better believe it You better believe it
