called a friend the other day to see what kind of words hed say he said, "I just met a man down here and his girlfriend dont like you" So give me a number, her address and Ill see if I can do my best to avoid her the next time Im passing through Never been much for following rules always go out and act the fool and something bad would happen by and by I cant say Im always proud of myself But I dont wish I was somebody else Infact Id rather be me then you But a lot of people dont like me not my music I hear; personally gonna tell you how to act and what to say I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave Well I went to a party in the middle of the night crawling up the stairs and thats alright I pictured the who place in flames and it made me smile I wonder why I thought such terrible things a voice in my head heard the telephone ring picked up and said, "weve been wondering for a while" Walked in a wall, spelt in the dirt got punched in the face I admit that it hurt and I had enemies that I call my friends But it dosnt matter if I get low down because Im the one riding on the hear right now and all I gotta do is use my imagination But a lot of people dont like me not my music I hear; personally gonna tell you how to act and what to say I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave Well theres been sometimes I was under the gun and when I was I intended to run it was important but it wasnt worth dying for someone said he who fights and runs away can avoid getting killed another day so I made a point of every window and every door but all these people they gather round my heart goes backwards my head drops down I hear my voice say things I told it not to Couldn't say who it was directed at and why I chose to say something like that and now what I truly plan to do But a lot of people dont like me what i hear now out on the street gonna tell you how to act and what to say I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
