Mister Glassman

Let’s paint a picture: you're in class

The teacher writes the notes too fast

And there's boy who sits in back who's too afraid to raise his hand

And ask if she can slow it down

So nervously he looks around

Can't bare to stand out in the crowd

And he's only gotten half the notes now

The school bell rings

And he feels deflated

Looks at his hand

He should've raised it

His biggest fear

He should've faced it

And now he's lost inside the pages

He might be there but you'd never notice

Got a lot to say but he's soft spoken

He's a book that just isn't open

A tiny ripple in a stormy ocean

Glassman, mister glassman

Glassman

Mister glassman!

He's really soft spoken

You never notice glass unless its broken

Mister glassman!

He's really soft spoken

You never notice glass unless its broken

A few years later

And now its prom season

Mister glass isn't going unless he has a reason

There's a cutie in his class

That he likes a lot but he's afraid to ask

Because they've never talked

Plus if she says yes whats he gonna do?

Doesn't have a car, dude, he's screwed

He doesn't feel cool

He's too subdued

And he's scared to meet her parents too

Boohoo, just another chance he blew

Cause theres way too many things going on in his head

And he’s always in his head thinking too far ahead

Could've gone to prom

But instead he lays in bed

Thinkin' of all the things that he left unsaid

Till he’s red

Sorry mister glass the world has a way

But now I'm sure you're heard many people say

You miss every opportunity you don’t take

Don’t be shy kid, make your own fate

Glassman, mister glassman

Glassman

Mister glassman!

He's really soft spoken

You never notice glass unless its broken

Mister glassman!

He's really soft spoken

You never notice glass unless its broken

Mister glassman

Now mister glass is older

And he's doing just fine, yeah

He made it through high school

Even though he was shy

He's got a group of good friends and his future is bright

And he still gets sad

But he's happy with his life

Remember when he didn't ask the cutie to prom?

Well, now he's got a couple kids

And they're calling her mom, man

And remember when he could'nt raise his hand in class?

Well now he's up on stage in front of fans rappin' fast

But he still gets scared

And he still gets nervous cause you gotta feel the waves if you wanna go surfin'

Nothin' is for certain like does cursive have a purpose?

Was it worth it that you learned it?

Probably not

I don't know

I digress

But the point I'm trynna stress is that we're all just made of glass

Even when we're at our best

We can break

We can split

Or disappear or lose our temper

Even if you think you're bullet proof

I am glass and so are you

Glassman, mister glassman

Glassman

Mister glassman!

He's really soft spoken!

You never notice glass unless its broken!

Mister glassman!

He's really soft spoken!

You never notice glass unless its broken!

Mister glassman

Its hard to get by when you're feelin' so shy

You gotta keep on movin' just a step at a time

Mister glassman

He's really soft spoken!

You never notice glass unless its broken!

Mista'

Mister glassman

He's really soft spoken!
