He was always such a nice boy
The quiet one
With good intentions
He's was down for his brother
Respectful to his mother
A good boy
But good don't get attention
One kid with the promise
The brightest kid in school, He's not a fool
Always reading books about science
And smart stuff
It's not enough, no
Cause smart don't make you cool
He's not invisible anymore
Since he walked through that classroom door
He's all over primetime news
Chorus:
Mary's got the same size hands as Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints at Mann's Chinese Theatre show
She could've been a movie star
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Oh, now we'll never know
(stole, stole)
They were crying to the camera
Said he never fit in
He wasn't welcome
He showed up to the parties he was hangin' in
Some guys were puttin' him down
Bullying him round
Now I wish I would've talked to him
Given him the confidence to turn away
If I would've been the one
Maybe he wouldn't have gone that far
Stayed at home playing the chords on his guitar
He's not invisible anymore
Since he walked through that classroom door
Everybody knows his name
Chorus
Ray was always getting that from 20 feet away
He had game
Had a show with the Sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday
Now we'll never see him slam
Flying high as school began
His life was stole
Now we'll never know
(Stole, Stole)
Stole
(Stole, Stole)
Ooh, yeah
Chorus
Ray was always getting that from 20 feet away
(He had game)
Had a show with the Sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday
Now we'll never see him slam
Flying high as school began
His life was stole
Now we'll never know
