I was raised to show sympathy
But I show the opposite
My life was a cringe
But no one showed empathy
They laughed at me
And said be tougher
What I did was never right
So I started making people slumber
I mean fight
I can’t lie, I can’t stand people
So I brought a chair and sat
On the rear window
Damn I hate my reflection
It scares me bro
‘Cause how’s a kid who’s been to hell
still smile through that mirror?
My heart had been shattered
Like broken glass
I’m not flattered
If someone close to me turns into a rat
I’ll reorganize anyone’s matter
If he plays with my heart
Because for real, inside I’m fragile,
and got too many scars
“You build failures but I build accomplishments”
“You use it as a stepping stone”
I use it ‘til the day I’m gone
“Close the door on the past”
While I chased my sins
“You don’t try to forget the mistakes but you don’t dwell on it”
“You don’t let it have any of your energy”
I give it few
“Or any of your time”
But I learn from mine
“Or any of your space”
Was a saying from Johnny Cash
But I say my past
Really made me an outcast
But I still got myself in a situation
Some will drop the dime
‘Cause I got a nickel
Even when I took the time
Told baby I’m a different breed
I’m one of a kind
RIP my friend
You really made me shine.
