Jimmy Boy
I did exactly what my mentors did and taught me.
Then they turned on the lights, called it a crime, and fought me.
You can go from a media darling to a despicable outcast.
Rumors grow legs, and every word of it is typical that you can't shout past.
Once upon a time, I generated them money by being dangerous and attractive.
If I only had a dime for every instance they redefine that type as cantankerous and radio active.
This town don't love you, in fact no one could argue with me if I called it hell adjacent.
It holds your past above you, but lauds you upon seeing a skill set that is nascent.
The best of friends one day, then disgusted enemies overnight.
Family checks to see if your okay, the machine that supported you counts the relationship as an oversight.
I am the son of bright lights, story book glamor, and hungry appetites.
They made me bow to a malcontents stammer, then said I transgressed their rights.
We are the same, they only pretend to be an entirely new thing
Now they don't know my name, but a plane only flies with two wings.
I was the other side of what you were, so don't portray a contrary picture.
I remember the party you call a blur, you go unscathed leaving me to be the cautionary fixture.
Is that what I am, some afterschool special on what not to do?
Your sin is weighed by the gram, live by Napoleonic code, and I'll be your Waterloo.
I don't believe in scandal only people sitting on information.
Pray and light a candle, we both now the terms of your probation.
We all got dirt, it's just about who got the better broom.
This type of talk hurts, reporters blackmail talent something like a letter goon.
I won't dance to the clang of another person's tambourine.
You call me a snake, but you're the one that bit into his tangerine.
