Lyrics
I don't miss where I came from
I don't miss my origin or where I came from.
But each night I dream about being back home
I dream about returning home every night.
When I wake up in the morning
Upon waking up in the morning.
I'm too tired
I'm too tired.
And tired of being alone
Feeling exhausted and fed up with loneliness.
So I get up and go downtown
I go downtown.
And pick me out a little piece of ground
Choosing a space where I can prove myself to the world.
Where I can prove something to the world
Expressing a desire to demonstrate something significant.
I can prove something to the world
Reiterating the intention to prove something to the world.
Don't look at me
Asking not to be judged.
I'm the bus stop boxer
Identifying as a person who hangs out at the bus stop.
Daddy put us in the truck and
Recalling a childhood memory of being left at a bus stop by the father.
Dropped us off and said good luck
Being left with a wish for good luck.
Then one lucky kid waiting for the bus
A fortunate kid waiting for the bus changes someone's life.
Made a winner out of one of us
The bus stop experience turns one of the kids into a winner.
Don't look at me
Requesting not to be judged as a bus stop dweller.
I'm the bus stop boxer
Going down to the railroad tracks
Heading to the railroad tracks where vigilance is essential.
Where people know that they better not relax
Acknowledging the need for constant alertness in that location.
I'm the man
Declaring oneself as 'the man.'
Baby I am the man
Emphasizing one's significance or prowess.
This is where I can make you understand
Expressing a determination to make someone understand.
