I Have A Tale To Tell…
I Was Three Feet From The Floor
Gasping For Air
Trying To Release
My Fathers Hands From My Throat
I Looked Into His Eyes
And Wondered, If My Feet Would Ever
Touch The Floor Again
Have You Ever Been Hit So Hard That It
Sends Your Body Flying Across The Room
We All Fall To The Floor
At Some Point
It's How You Pick Yourself Up
That's The Real Challenge
Isn't?
I've Always Lived
In My Own World
And I Dance To Escape My Troubles
I've Learned That There's Light
Even In The Place Darkest Places
I Can't Blame My Father
For Anything
You Can't On Other People
To Make You Happy
But I Know Deep Down Inside, He Loved Me
There Was A Time
I Suffers So Much
I Want To Get It Out Of Me
I Would Cut My Arms,
Not To Kill Myself
I Don´T Want To Die
I Know I Am Lucky
To Be On This Earth
I Did It So The Physical Pain
Would Calm The Pain
That Was Eating Me Inside
Nothing Was Erased
I Leave With My Past
Tucked Away
Deep Inside Of Me
It Comes Out As An Explosion And...
It Invades Me
I Believe We Are
Messenger On Earth
I Believe In Angels
I Am Blessed By God
To Tell Myself
I Suffered That Much
To Become Who I Am Today
Now, You Have To Realize,
Not Only Do I Have A Family,
But Now I Have A Whole Hood
And That's Power
But I Ain't No
Grimey-Ass Nigga
I Was Never
Out To Kill Anybody
Especially When I Made
That Decision To Gang-Bang
I Just Want To Pit In
But One Day, I Was Forced
To Do Something
That Made Me Open My Eyes
And I Realized That
This Shit Ain't No Game
One Of The Homies Got Popped
And I Was Pressures
Into Doing My First Drive By
It Was Kinda Fucked Up,
The Way They Tried To Dot Me Up
Me And My Bro, We Has Headed
Back To The Eight Block
Some Homies Rolled Up
And They Asked Us To Go Somewhere
We Pulled Up To The Corner
Then He Placed A Chunky-Ass
Gun In My Ride
He Said, "You Know What To Do With It´´
It's Time To Get Poppin´
For The Hood
But I Wasn't
Out To Kill Anybody…
