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 

* 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

** 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 

[Repeat * , **]
