He was always such a nice boy
The quiet one with good intentions
He was down with his brother, respectful to his mother
A good boy
But good don't get attention
One kid with the promise
The brightest kid in school, he's not a fool
Reading books bout science and smart stuff
It's not enough, no
'Cause smart don't make you cool
Well he's not invisible anymore
With his father's nine and a broken fuse
Since he walked through that classroom door
He's all over prime time news
Chorus
Mary's got the same size hands as Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints
At Mann's Chinese Theatre Show
She could've been a movie star
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole Oh Oh, now we'll never know
They were crying to the camera
Said he never fitted in, he wasn't welcome
He'd show up to the parties we was hanging in
Some guys were putting him down, bullin' him 'round
Now I wish I would have talked to him
Gave him the time of day, not turn away
If I would've then it wouldn't maybe go this far
He'd might'a stayed at home playing angry chords on his guitar
He's not invisible anymore
With his baggy pants and his legs in chains
Since he walked through that classroom door
Everybody knows his name
Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away
He had a tryout with the Sixahs couldn't wait for Saturday
Now we're never gonna see him slam
Flyin' as high as Kobe can
His life was stole Oh! Oh! Now we'll never know
Ya their lives were stole
Now we'll never know
We were here, all together yesterday?
questo copia-incolla qui sopra e' il testo della canzone simbolo (insieme a dilemma feat nelly)dell'album uscito nel 2002,il testo per chi conosce l'inglese e' di una verita' e bellezza impressionante,e' prorpio la colonna sonora di quei tanto apprezzati film dei college americani,dove c'e' il solito sfigato preso per il culo,la fregna della scuola che invidiano tutti e che e' modello per le buzzicone,il giocatore di basket fortissimo,ma che frequenta brutte amicizie che lo portano alla morte.....e ho guardato dentro una canzone e ci ho visto dentro tanto amore che ho capito che non si comanda al cuore ..e va bene cosi' la recensione ...senza parole....ded:kobe-bryant...e chi segue un modello da essere....
