Vague question, vague answer....\n\nThe only thing that springs to mind that sounds even close to those lyrics is a song called Jessie by Joshua Kadison.\nThe line is 'Jessie paints a picture about how it used to be'. Don't know if that's any help.

That would be POD. The song is called Boom from the album Satellite. \n\nHere are the lyrics:\n\nI never knew that a kid like me \nCould take his mic around the world and flash the big S.D. \nAnd rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas \nTijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo \nThey know me though, 'cause I be puttin' in work \nCommit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word \nI'm sure you heard, about a new sound going around \nShe might have left my hood, but she was born in my town \n\nWe rep. the South, so what you talking about \nI'm not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt \n'Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you \nWhen it's time to handle business, then you know what to do \nMe and my crew, we stay true, old skool or new \nMany were called, but the chosen are few \nWe rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot \nRush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got \n\n[b-section:] \nYou didn't know, thought we was new on the scene \nWell, it's alright! It's alright! \nI know you know, I see you smiling at me \nWell, it's alright! It's alright! \n\n[chorus:] \nBoom! Here comes the Boom! \nReady or not, here comes the boys from the South \nBoom! Here comes the Boom! \nHow you like me now? \n\n[bridge:] \nIs that all you got? \nI'll take your best shot

The only song coming to mind is "Alcohol" by Brad Paisley, from his "Time Well Wasted" album. (Hope this is the one you are looking for) It starts out......\nI can make anybody pretty\nI can make you believe any lie\nI can make you pick a fight\nwith somebody twice your size. . .\nWell I've been known to cause a few breakups\nand I've been known to cause a few births\nI can make you new friends\nOr get you fired from work....\nAnd since the day I left Milwaukee,\nLynchburg, Bordeaux, France\nBeen makin the bars\nLots of big money\nand helpin white people dance\nI got you in trouble in high school\nbut college now that was a ball\nyou had some of the best times\nyou'll never remember with me\nAlcohol, Alcohol.....

"Free as a Bird"\n\nIt was John Lennon speaking a poem, but it was later set to music.

The most memorable Valedictorian speech was this boy name Aaron Andrade. He was a pretty reserved kid, not too outgoing, but he was super smart. I think he ended up his high school career with a 4.3. Anyway, when he got up to give his speech he was wearing the traditional cap and gown. Once he got to the podium he removed the Mortarboard and put on a backwards USC hat (the school he'd be attending in fall). He proceeded to RAP his speech to the tune of Eminem's latest hit. It was completely unexpected and wonderful.

"Things Get A Little Easier (Once You Understand)" by Think\n\nIt's aim is to teach square parents to communicate with the sensitive kids of today (circa 1971).  The sensitive teen protagonists sound like whiners.  \n\nCheck out this site for the lyrics:\n\nhttp://cultureraven.typepad.com/culture_raven/2005/06/bad_music_thing.html
