Lyrics:

Verse 1

Michael and Jimmy were hitting up a party
Jimmy was the class clown, Michael was the smarty
Over came Marty with two big hearty
Fully rolled blunts and a bottle of Bacardi
Michael wanted out, but Jimmy wanted in
Michael walked on home while Jimmy drank the gin
For the next few days, Jimmy was in a haze
So he didn't go to school, life seemed like a maze, yeah
Well every day, he would smoke and drink, he would
Go to the woods where he wouldn't have to think
He knew what he was doing but his parents didn't know it
Every day when he got home he tried his hardest not to show it
Michael thought that Jimmy was just going through a phase
But as time when on, they started to part ways
Graduation time - Michael left a grown man
Jimmy was a boy, they never saw each other again, till now...

Chorus 1

My name is Jimmy and you're hearing my song
Mike and me, well, we used to get along
I knew what I was doing and I knew that it was wrong
He was my best friend, now it's been too long
I'm living on the streets, without any money
When people pass me by, they're laughing like it's funny
Now after using all those drugs
I'm standing on the sidewalk giving out free hugs

Verse 2

Right after high school, I went to Cornell
I took all the good classes, did nothing but excel
When I heard that Jimmy was expelled
I didn't really care, I hope that he will go to hell
Cause I'm doing well in school, I wish that he could see
That I'm living the life, working towards my degree
Counting all my girls like 1 2 3 (4 5)
Bringin' em to my mansion on the Mediterranean Sea (Lets GO)
Listen, now i'm personal friends with Barack Obama
Livin the good life, i ain't got no drama
With a Rolex on my wrist, all the girls do insist
I'm the dude that they miss and they can't resist
Once in a while, Jimmy pops up in my head
I could be nice instead, but nah
all these words have been left unsaid
but i kinda wish that Jimmy would just drop dead
lets go

Chorus 2

His name is Jimmy and you're hearing his song
Him and his buddy Mike, well, they used to get along
He knew what he was doing and he knew that it was wrong
They were two best friends, but it's been way too long
Jimmy's living on the streets, without any money
When people pass him by, they're laughing like it's funny
Now after using all those drugs
He's standing on the sidewalk giving out free hugs

Bridge/Mental Breakdown

My life has just gone up in flame, YEAH
I'm the only person I can blame, YEAH
I barely even remember my own name, YEAH
My entire life has been lived in a cloud of shame, YEAH
I don't have anybody I can trust, YEAH
My parents must be living in disgust, YEAH
I'm really being left here to rust, YEAH
Maybe it's just time for me to readjust, YEAH

Verse 3: THE MEETING

I was walking down the street the other day (day)
I thought I heard somebody say (hey)
I looked to my right (right), and then i looked down (down)
and it was Jimmy sitting right there on the ground, he said

Michael, hey Michael, is it really you?
Is every single thing I've heard about you really true?
Everything wrong I've done I wish I could undo
I didn't know how bad would be the stuff I got into
I wanna turn my life around
I wanna do all the things that'll bring my life out of the ground
I wanna go to a rehab facility?
I wanna get that feeling of invincibility

I'll help you if you give me your word
and you stop being so absurd
stop doing drugs and I'll help you out
and then we can start you back on the right route

Outro:

And then we started to cross the street
And then, in a heartbeat, the sound of his feet
got faster, i saw him run, get hit by the Jeep
rest in peace Jimmy, lying on the concrete
