As I crawl off the field with my armor in tatters
I take a look at my stuff and wonder why it all matters
‘cause I’ve been hangin’ and bangin’ so long that
Even my knight thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain’t neva hit a fighter that wasn’t a-lookin
‘cause if I did then I’m a cheata and shoulda been sent bookin’ home
If you ain’t been a squire you don’t know what I’m talkin’
But if you ain’t been a squire you ain’t walked what I’m walkin’
I try not to be proud ‘cause that’s a deadly sin
But I’m a memba of a club you gotta work ta get in
I’m the kinda guy the ones who ain’t in wanna gotta get to be, yo
Cause the kinda guy I am is how you start to get to be
On your knees in front the king
As you listen to them singin’
Been tryin’ to be a knight living in the Squire’s Paradise
We all know there’s no such sight but we’re in the Squire’s Paradise
Keep workin’ all our lives tryin’a exit Squire’s Paradise
Got belted red by a knight so I’m livin’ Squire’s Paradise
So here’s the situation they got me facin’
I can’t live a normal life, I was th born on the list field
So I gotta be down with the 14 century
Too much fight watchin’ analyzin’ got me chasin’ dreams
I’m an educated fool with winnin’ clean on my mind
Got my sword an’ board in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I’ma Ibuprofen’d out squire, swore an oath to my sire
An’ I’m gonna make it one day, so don’t arouse my ire, y’all
Death ain’t nuthin I can’t recover from y’know
But dishonor that’s another kind a crash landin’ yo
I’m twenty-three now and I know I’ll see twenty-four
But damn I wish my joints weren’t so f’n sore
There are none so blind as those who won’t see
That the ones workin’ hard are you and me
Been tryin’ to be a knight living in the Squire’s Paradise
We all know there’s no such sight but we’re in the Squire’s Paradise
Keep workin’ all our lives tryin’a exit Squire’s Paradise
Got belted red by a knight so I’m livin’ Squire’s Paradise
Power goes with politics, politics with power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody jockeying, and all of them are lookin’
I’m fightin’ then I’m in kitchen ‘cause a squire’s multitalented
(did you really think I was going to write ‚’cause a squire’s good at cookin’‛??? PLEASE)
They say I gotta learn and I watch at what they doin’
And I gotta say they get it, all the shakin’ and the movin’
I used to say, that wasn’t me
But then I see their thoughts in me
And the circle is complete; lay on!
Been tryin’ to be a knight living in the Squire’s Paradise
