[Verse 1]

Can I take you back for a minute?

It's not just lyrics, I live it, I'm spilling my spirit

On the beat like streets cold as blizzards

Late night drownin' my sorrow in a bottle of spirits

Was a sweet child, that characters missing

No trace, now it's bora in coat and screw face

Colder, soldier, angry young male

Don't ask how, you already know the tale

Never lived with my father, nasty break up with my mum and her partner

And of course, times was harder

Moms did her best with the strength she could muster

But she so stressed it was us that would suffer

Plus school teachers hate me, say that I'm feisty

Play all kinda mind games to try break me

Helped turn a innocent kid into a ignorant pig

Fuck em anyway, I still got straight A's


[Verse 2]

Winter was real, no gas, I went to bed in full clothing

Back when my world was closing in and Moms was sick

I can't explain the pain when the news came

Sorta like the blizzard that came after the rain

My mind was a prison, I visioned the worst

Run home from school, wanted to get there first

Didn't want either of my sisters, to find what I pictured

Moms was too strong, she just soldiered on

Dad, I ain't mad, don't think I don't understand

But I still had to learn how to be a man

Standing on my own two, not the way you supposed to

Funny how the cycle repeats, nobody showed you

Wouldn't believe it I told you what I had to go through

Pressure couldn't fold me, but turned my heart cold G

What don't kill you make you strong supposedly

That must be why nobody can hold me


[Break]

I'm sorry


[Verse 3]

Yeah I had a struggle, but really it's sugar-coated

When you think of all the millions barely living and hopeless

In the news Mother and child, bellies bloated

Put yourself in their shoes, knowin' death is approaching

But it's not fate, it's bait, they were thrown in

The deep end of the endless ocean of mans sin

Politics, religion, man philosophize

Got technology and television

Still don't know why the worlds a weight on top of your shoulders

But we fold up, true we can't hold up them boulders

I been through the shit, but came out like roses

I'm blessed, don't ever think I don't notice

I know I got a path, but it's hard to stay focused

Specially on these roads, where foes are like roaches

Foul and I crush 'em and I won't even notice

If I lose my way, I just want you to know this
