They say I'm special because I turned my life around
You'd never find this boy at home
I was busy making money downtown
Making my rounds with my big pimp hat,
my black coat with zebra lapels
I never thought twice about taking a life
'cause I'm already going to hell
It wasn't easy learning the tricks of the trade
But my little brother taught me everything he knew
It cost me half of what I made
Chorus:
I'm so special
Yes, I'm so special
Never broke a law, never told a lie
until I wrote this song
That's right I made this all up
I was always a good boy
And they never pay a good boy pay no mind
They say I'm special because I've seen the light
Gave up drinking and sleeping around
'cause, hey folks, it just ain't right
They say I'm courageous because I made myself a new man
I'm making big money singing so I don't need
to sell weed to my friends in the band
Now they say I'm a hero - a role model to see and hear
And all I had to do was give an interview
And shed a couple of tears
