| Some 15 year old kid sits on his porch, just half past noon
trying to figure out just what he's doing
why he had to grow up so soon
with all the gangs, all the guns-watcha gonna learn in school
theres got to be some way out of here,
he says "man, this life is cruel"
I knew this puerto rican girl who lied to change her life
she changed her name,
her face because the grass looks greener on the other side
she turned her back, she ran away straight into the night
her friends, her family feel the pain,but shes the one who cries
Tell me what you want
tell me what you need
i want everything
I've had enough of having nothing, i won't take just anything
i got my mind set on something
all i want is everything
it's my life mr i aint running, i'm no puppet on a string
i want more than i see coming
all i want is everything
all i want is everything
My next door neighbour donnie, died in his room just the other day
his brother came home,
found him dead on the floor with a needle in his vein
cops come down with a body bag,
they said donnie was a casualty
i said, all its about is the boy checked out,
he couldn't handle reality
Tell me what you want
tell me what you need
i want everything
I've had enough of having nothing, i won't take just anything
i got my mind set on something
all i want is everything
it's my life mr i aint running, i'm no puppet on a string
i want more than i see coming
all i want is everything
all i want is everything
