She said ain't no place like home
But what's a home when ya spirits alone?
Heroin addiction the only substance she known
Lost in hell, high as heavens she gone
Mama selling crack out front room
Sold her baby soul in the back room
Is that what we've come to?
The drugs that we run to
Put you in a system prison
When they shoulda helped you
And saved you
And learned about the trauma that made you
But I guess they eyes is blind
When skin be melanin
I know you just a victim so don't let, devils win
If only I could take you back to being, 9 again
Just to catch a predator and preserve ya innocence
Now you selling body to hold ya mama over
Pounds of flesh funding habits so you never sober
You learn as you growin older
The world is so much colder
Dead hearts needles and pipes
They Can't handle the aroma
But see ya spirit stronger
Victim of conditions
Childhood Afflictions
One day they'll listen
I'll make em listen
Promise to I'll tell ya story, Iain't never judging you
In struggle you find the truth
My tears could Shift a ark
Knowin' whatchu been through
Can't recollect ya name
I'm just praying you make it through
So baby just make it through
She said ain't no place like home
But what's a home when ya spirit alone?
Heroin addiction the only substance she known
Lost in hell, high as heavens she gone
Prayin, wish he could go back home
What's life in stone and granite rooms?
He's tying the noose, and he can't face the truth
Lost in hell, but there's a king in you
See lately he call home but baby wont pick up
Mama losing health her heart ain't strong enough
That alone Goliath he cant dodge the stones
He feeling so alone fearsome of the unknown
But what he know is flourished roses they
Rise from dirt
Thinking death the only thing to free his hurt
Wrote notes on his pillow
Just in case they noticed
"'I don't hate life
Just the nigga who wrote this'
I done prayed to God til I'm drying tears
I done spoke invictus for some years and years
18 to life plus unlucky 7
Only thing my daughter knows is that her father's a fiend''
Just take a deep breath
Life alone is the blessing
Let ya faith be the weapon
To slaughter depression
Cause in failure there's a lesson
There's a king in you
I'm just another victim
I'm just here with a message
She said ain't no place like home
But what's a home when ya spirit alone?
Heroin addiction the only substance she known
Lost in hell, high as heavens she gone
Prayin', wishin' he could go back home
What's life in stone and granite rooms
He tying the noose, and he can't face the truth
Lost in hell, but there's a king in you
God won't you take me to the moon
Don't you see how your people confused?
They murder us and letting them go all on the news
Who'd knew I be the one born to tell em the truth
Even when I'm down I'll still lead em to you
I don't need an alter, just a mic and a booth
