From 2009 album "Help Me!". This song is dedicated to Steve Rocco (founder of World Industries skateboards) who helped my favorite skater Rodney Mullen out of his dad's prison, as I'm living that as well. This is the first time I mention skateboarding in one of my songs.

I'm stuck in this old house, I just can't get out
Still living with my dad who can't shut his mouth
Wants me to fear everything from outside
Even with friends, I got nowhere to hide
He's dissin' everything that comes from my head
My loves, my wishes and even my bed
He interrupts me for things that ain't fair
He always bugs me even when he's not there
Help me, Rocco, I'm out of control
I need respect, I need someone to hold
I'm like Rodney, you know what I'm about
I'm stuck in here and I need to get out
Even my skating is affected by dad
I can't land any tricks, it's always that bad
No matter how much I pray to Our Lord
I just can't manage to land back on my board
I cannot overcome that fear so intense
Not even with the backing of all my friends
I have no courage, it's so hard to find
'Cause dad is always in the back of my mind
Take my hand, pull me out of my trap
For too long I've been feeling like crap
I'm a nice guy left with nothing to do
I'd be happy to be working for you
