Who's to say that the world I see
Is any less darker than yours
And who's to say that the hell I been through
Is not as bad as what anyone endures
And who's to say that only you are allowed
To have the access to what cures
I've done my time, I’ve done my duty
And I have paid my dues
I do declare my own version of the blues
Who's to say that the thoughts I think
Aren't as deep as the deep blue sea
And who's to say that the shit I feel
Doesn't sting like the sting of a bee
And who's to say that only you can know
How it feels to be the enemy
Who's to say that only you are allowed
To look cool in a low-riding pant
And who's to say that only you have the right
To go off on an angry rant
And who's to say that only you can know
How it feels to be squished like an ant
