That One Guy

Hey, that's me
Man, I was cute as I could be
If only I was a girl with my blue eyes and curly curls
Maybe that could've been me

Yo, that's me
Man, I was fast as I could be
If only I was a black kid that ran fast as I did
Maybe that could've been me

Ha, that's me
Man, I was funny as I could be
If only they laughed me instead of my a.d.d.
Maybe that could've been me

Yes, that's me
Man, I was smart as I could be 
If only they seen the potential in me
Maybe that could've been me

Wow, that's me
Man, I was destin as I could be
I would of made a great daddy 
Maybe that could've been me

Well, that's me
Man, of the man I could of been 
If I only had a friend in the end 
If only they had the chance to really know me 
Maybe that could've been me, a happy me, a wealthy me, a better me
Maybe that could've been me
The me I was truly ment to be
