This right here might ruffle up a few feathers
Only if I can muster up the right letters
Can't start now to muffle up speak for others
All my thoughts just cluster up and build pressure
I grew up in a house not a home
There were 4 us but we was all alone
No communication ever happened on its own
Anger led the way left the house stone cold
Every day wakin up to a new fight
Cuss em out don't talk for the whole night
I was up and alert with the moonlight
On guard no sleep didn't feel right
I was taught treat women good
Never put ya hands on em'
Then I seen my mama neck
Now I wanna put hands on him
It was around 730 PM
Waiting at the staircase to go see him
Voice got loud so I rushed to meet him
Lies on lies but I couldn't beat him
Next thing I know, outta control
Fist through the glass got blood everywhere
Cops at the door get your hands in the air
This my life
It's full of cuts and soars
I speak my pain
So you can deal with yours
We all got demons
We all can win
But first it starts
It starts within
This my life
It's full of cuts and soars
I speak my pain
So you can deal with yours
We all got demons
We all can win
But first it starts
It starts within
Fast forward
Time flies
4 years
No reply
God spoke
I listened
Try to be
A good Christian
Had to be the man but I'm the child
You couldn't doit thats kinda wild
Showed up at ya house tried to hash it out
Still drunk from the night probably passing out
Had the nerve to tell me that I'm convicted
You got more pride than I thought you dumb addicted
Convo cut short but the air was clear
"You wanna get wings"? I like what I hear
But then you didn't speak for whole nutha year
Then I gotta call
Said you reconnected with a lady that you connected with back in the day
What do I say? I'm like "okay, I'm happy for ya, so what you gonna do?"
You said that "I want to get together cause I move tomorrow"
Save me the pity cause I promise there will be no sorrow
I could care less if I seen you in another 5 years let alone tomorrow
But then I swallow
"ok let's doit"
This my life
It's full of cuts and soars
I speak my pain
So you can deal with yours
We all got demons
We all can win
But first it starts
It starts within
This my life
It's full of cuts and soars
I speak my pain
So you can deal with yours
We all got demons
We all can win
But first it starts
It starts within
It's been 8 years and can not lie
Thought a few bout times when you might die
Will I be in tears or will I not care?
Cause see real talk Ima different type
Me and you man we are not alike
Once you exit my life the emotions do
Only person to blame is you
I was hours away for a week straight
Last day can't make it you a week late
Things happen I get okay great
Got friend love for you no I don't hate
Kept sayin how you miss me and want to see me
Your mouths been big but ya actions teeny
But it's all good
This my story I write about
Not for sympathy but an escape route
This my life
It's full of cuts and soars
I speak my pain
So you can deal with yours
We all got demons
We all can win
But first it starts
It starts within
This my life
It's full of cuts and soars
I speak my pain
So you can deal with yours
We all got demons
We all can win
But first it starts
It starts within
