You don't have to have a triple X tattoo
To have a positive attitude
I've never had to belong to a 'crew'
To justify the things that I do
I've never had to use violence to defend
The ideas that have become a trend
'Cause I don't think gangs and clothing lines
Is what Ian had in mind
The difference between me and you
Isn't a point of view
The difference between us is
I don't write X's on my fists
Why can't you be yourself
Instead of being everyone else
To myself I'll always be true
I wish I could say the same thing for you
"Listen, there's no set of rules..."
Life is a gamble, you've made your bet
But now you're the one living in regret
'Cause I don't think gangs and clothing lines
Is what Ian had in mind
