Lyrics

It was 1999 when I met him
He's hard to believe with a name like Passion
He was picking up chicks with his girlfriend
Did too much talking with an accent
Of course we started hanging
At the studio we be jamming
Hit the bong, we'd play these songs
Let the ego clash till the early morn

I keep pushing you off
You don't understand
What it takes to be me
I keep pushing you off
Cause it was all for fun

I'm pretty sore from a fight last night
I know, but it doesn't make it right
A few cuts and a few bruises
The music I face, but I know that you choose it
I hope we didn't hurt you
The pain I feel, we'll always remember
Good times and black eyes gone
Another voice in this song for the millennium

I keep pushing you off
You don't understand
What it takes to be me
I keep pushing you off
Cause it was all for fun

It was all for fun
It was all for fun

I keep pushing you off
You don't understand
What it takes to be me
I keep pushing you off
Cause it was all for fun
