  • Tim he was a good friend
    Yea was a brother of mine
    We were imaginary comic book superheroes
    Kids wasting time

    We were prisoners of our youth
    We were growing up strong
    'Till the day he was taken away
    For something he did wrong

    Tim came 'round just the other day
    And boy he had some stories to tell
    His mama kept him locked up in a rehab
    Although the doctors said he was well

    He said yeah I been through the anger
    And the hatred towards my mom
    And I put all that behind me
    Just tell me what was it like to go to your prom

    He said thank you mom for fixing
    My clouded broken mind
    But excuse me if I seem a little rude
    While I was missing my childhood,

    My brother and my prime
    You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude
    Well growing up these days just ain't easy
    And the kids they're doing the best that they can

    So mama you better think twice
    Before you lock your kid up
    And throw away the key
    'Cause soon your little boy is gonna be a man

    He said thank you mom for fixing
    My clouded broken mind
    But excuse me if I seem a little rude
    While I was missing my childhood,

    My brother and my prime
    You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude
    Tim left town yesterday
    He left me with these words

    He said yeah I know this life's got a lot to give
    But my childhood is gone
    And I'm not afraid of dying
    I'm gonna grab the world by the horns

    And learn how to live
    He said thank you mom for fixing
    My clouded broken mind
    But excuse me if I seem a little rude

    While I was missing my childhood,
    My brother and my prime
    You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude Writer/s: EDWIN COLE MC CAIN
