Here's a story, bout a kid named Timmy he was 17

Selling pens, started with just one he loved the smell of green

Stubborn too, he didn't take BS they thought he was hella mean

Couple friends, they weren't down to ride but he'd do anything

Had a knife, that made him feel safe when they had tried to jump him

He was smart, didn't walk in the bathroom cuz they would have stomped him

Seeing red, he broke down in class he couldn't even function

Grabbed the knife, he was finna poke if anybody touched him

Had a plan, he would walk his opp down creeping from behind

Grab his neck, he didn't care bout nothing he was gon' do the time

Timmy crazy, he looked like a demon if you seen his eyes

Life is over, his opp would be dead and he'd be dead inside

Timmy's friend, knew what he was gon' do so he had tried to stop him

Timmy said, you don't know how I feel so best proceed with caution

He was mad, he was out control till Timmy's friend had calmed him

They sat on the pavement down together, and they got to talking

Couple weeks, later Timmy cool now he was in his class

Sherriff came, they looking for Timmy, couple seconds pass

He got up, and he started walking they said take your bag

In the office, Timmy had his knife he got to thinking fast

Pulled it out, he was slick he slipped the knife into his lunch

Paper bag, now when they search him he know they won't find nun

Called him in, ain't know what he there for but he gon play dumb

Innocent, whatever they thought he did he's not the one

Sherriff talks, Timmy's being charged with 422 P.C.

Making threats, that's what they got him for out of all the things

Everyone talks like that but he got caught how could it be

Timmy froze, he ain't do a thing but it's a felony

Sherriff said, hand over your bag we finna check your notes

Timmy hoped, that he wouldn't touch his lunch cuz then he's toast

"What's in there?" Sherriff grabs the paper bag he's really close

Timmy says his mama packed his lunch so he don't really know

Sherriff stops, he puts back the bag and says "oh wow that's nice"

Timmy laughs, he gon see this moment when he sleeps at night

Put in handcuffs, he still got arrested but they found no knife

County jail, sitting at the station thinking bout his life

On probation, they switched up his school now Timmy don't know no one

Starting over, had nothing to do but just go through the motions

He was foolish, spent all of his focus only chasing dreams
