DjOverflow - Memoir (feat. Jay Marrs & DjOverflow) Lyrics

I know I got a glass roof but it stays tinted
I'm really hoping God don't see what I got in it
And all these friends, they said they loved me but they really didn't
Throw a rock, break the glass, try and climb in it
(Climb in it)

Lately I've been thinking bout my death
Boy I'm tainted, living with regret
I got mouths to feed but they never really fed
At least it seems that way, but I'm too focused on the bread
Boy I'm anxious, I got a lot of things going on
And this depression's only making it worse
I try to make it, but
If I do, they make it seem like I'm wrong
Man why y'all tryinna make these blessings a curse
Appreciate it

(Hold up)

Man I wish I never walked in that room
And I wish I told my parents the truth (ooh)
Man I wish he didn't do what he hid
But he did, and now I'm broken tryinna cope, feeling used

But that's behind me
Or so I thought, these memories find me
At the worst time, got me talking back to my family
Say I'm better, but honestly I know
That this monster can come back any time and destroy me entirely

I know I got a glass roof but it stays tinted
I'm really hoping God don't see what I got in it
And all these friends, they said they loved me but they really didn't
Throw a rock, break the glass, try and climb in it
And I just started up the race but I feel finished
If you could see my real face, full of scars, twisted
And maybe you can see the pain but you don't feel it
I gotta get this off my chest, someone please listen

(Ooh)
This got me thinking bout my life
Hope I lead a good one
Hope you don't see me as a liar
Cuz I ain't been truthful
You see I'm not what you perceive
Got a dollar and a dream
But I ain't living the dream
I'm just hoping for the future

Got some voices in my head and they telling me to quit
Yeah they like me better dead, say a prayer for the kid
They said that I've made my bed, still I can't get any sleep, oh no, no
Wasn't really ready to believe

(But now I know that I am)
Greater than my past, and I won't let it define
I know pain, it doesn't last, listen all it took was time
Boy I'd rather take a stand, give a hand to all that listen
Set a fire to the guilt, tell the pain you won't come visit

There is power in his name, and the chains don't stand a chance
Said there's power in his name, and your pain ain't gonna last
I know we can rise again from the ashes of our past
We are strong, we are brave, we are young, we are one

I know I got a glass roof but it stays tinted
I'm really hoping God don't see what I got in it
And all these friends, they said they loved me but they really didn't
Throw a rock, break the glass, try and climb in it
I just started up the race but I feel finished
If you could see my real face, full of scars, twisted
And maybe you can see the pain but you don't feel it
I gotta get this off my chest, someone please listen
