I Never Understood

I never understood
    the 'boys in the hood'
  Why they ditched school
    and thought they were cool

  I never understood 
    their love for switchblades
  They were carving up faces
    while I made my good grades

  I never understood
    why they talked so 'affected'
  I always felt then
    like I was rejected...

  They're long ago dead
    every last one
  While I live out my dreams
    and the world carries on
