The Greatest Disappointment

[Verse 1]
Now if I think back to the day when - no I don't, that's impossible
But as this day come to an end, my recollection is probable
And my collections are few and far in between
Cumulation of the dust and the rust
I blow lightly with intention: Lance Stephenson gust
As I rewind the tapes and the voicemail, I recall - simply appalled
At the vivid imagery of it all: rise, fall, nice, gall
It was bull to be bullied, it wasn't cool to be me
It was cool to be the bully, but when the speech stalled
So did the progress, not the stress. I feel that over the years
My growth's been inhibited by blood, sweat and tears
Only the good Lord knows the anxiety and fears
That completed the trinity of what composed my flaws

[Hook 1] - x2
But I cut the losses and tally the wins
If that's all t'pain manifests, then all I do is sin
And forgiven we're each other's mirrors, so I'm speaking of thee
Yet the greatest disappointment is that you aren't me

[Hook 2]

The greatest disappointment is that you aren't me
Anticlimactic, these sounds you can't see
And the progress you can only feel
I'm just keepin it real - wassup

[Outro]
Adventist jokes, man
Adventist folk have you trapped in a box
Thankful for the foundation but you can't stay at the bottom
You can only start from there, Aubrey knows wassup
And that's real
