Looptroop Rockers, Timbuktu - Naïve Text (lyrics)

Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry
I know I shouldn't care about it
But it hurts me inside
Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry
I know I shouldn't care about it
('bout it, 'bout it)

Everyday in school was a war
Judged and sentenced for what I wore
Insecurity and hatred was the law
From the benches, the trenches
To the corridor
First year, I ran the gauntlet
Second year, you the one we taunted
Third year, they laughed and pointed
And I never said none but I swear I wanted
Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry
I know I shouldn't care about it
But it hurts me inside
Don't laugh at me it's making me cry
I know I shouldn't care about it
But it hurts me inside

I've found so many answers but
I still have no questions
My feet are feeling tired but
My legs they are restless
I'm eating and I'm chewing but
I just can't digest it
I'm playing 'round with things I know
I just shouldn't mess with
I'm a homesick dude who
Can't deal with domestic
Situations getting thin but still
I keep stretchin' out
In hopes of one day landin' in some place
Where I can park my hat
And deal with the mundane
I hit so many bumps my shock
Absorbers they must be enormous
Every chance I get I floor it
Still I'm moving like a tortoise
Shit is getting too retarded
Harder to breathe, I know it's gonna work out
But maybe I'm just being naïve

Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry
I know I shouldn't care about it
But it hurts me inside
Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry
I know I shouldn't care about it
But it hurts me inside

Sometimes she's so naïve
Gets upset about everyday stuff
I say that's the way of the world
Believe me I'm callin' their bluff
But I'm gettin' old, I feel jaded
You still got heart and I love it
Seems like my vision has faded
Choked by the biz and the budget
And I don't wanna be bitter
At thirty you know
Holding on's way better than letting it go
And it seems way better just letting you know
Ain't no inspiration bigger than this anymore
Let me be who I wanna be
Let me be who I am, let me be naïve
Let me be who I wanna be
Let me be who I am, let me be naïve

Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry
I know I shouldn't care about it
But it hurts me inside
Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry
I know I shouldn't care about it
But it hurts me inside

Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry
I know I shouldn't care about it
But it hurts me inside
Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry
I know I shouldn't care about it
But it hurts me inside

Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry
I know I shouldn't care about it
But it hurts me inside
Don't laugh at me, it's making me cry
I know I shouldn't care about it
('bout it, 'bout it)
