ALL LYRICS BELOW!
We do things in life because they matter...
This is a dedication to anyone who has lost someone.
Realness will always beat eye candy any day of the week,
sometimes this grit and spit of a moment outweighs the floss!
one love to my warriors.
Verse 1:
You think it's easy being broken and alone?
While the rest of the world, still smokin out the bowl,
that got em smiling like those symbols on the phone,
while I'm writing painful poems, pretending that I'm whole,
while I'm holding on my own, down the fort,
unfold the glory in a poem, keep it slowly till i mourn
and feel the aching deep in my bones....
I think to just ignore it, I'm squeamish for the moment,
Cause that cold is just like death, I feel it and I know it,
I sing this for the moments that you lie awake in agony
right before you fall asleep and every thought is happening
simultaneously tossing an turning on your mattress springs
you can't fall asleep and when u do it's always bad dreams
I sing this for the morning when my eyes open slowly
terrified to start the day get outa bed and get going,
I pull the covers over me pretending yesterday,
Never happened, but's it's hopeless, Life changes with No Warning
Verse 2:
I'm singing this for Parees and for Parvin and for Ghasem
I'm singin this for Mr King and Vic and for Lonnie,
I'm singing this for Carmen and for D-Lo and for Galeen,
For Hassan and Grandma Magnolia and for Rachels Dream
For those who are not happy at having to live not having
Those who we loved most around, I sing this for my family!
For lifes tragedies amidst the blasphemy, yo Sammy.
I'm singin this for Matt--y, I told you m--- f-----,
I'm singing this for my daddy,
My life is on a laptop where i open up candidly,
And spill every secret that has my eyes watering
and my friends and family mad at me,
I bounce back from this pain like a canopy,
and trick those who think I'm handling with the smile I brandish,
making it feel like every trace of pain vanished,
But it's boiling like a wound right beneath the surface, waiting to explode,
I woulda been Defeated w/out so much purpose....
Verse 3:
I already know my talent surpasses what was handed me,
So now I'm handing you these songs to celebrate the majesty,
"Life will kick your ass and you can take the beating passively
Or actively look at the wound and sew it shut drastically"
Burn the scar with the remembrance of what has to be,
Things that I endured nothing short of a catastrophe,
I've seen peoples pain as their tears rained frantically,
Watched the meaning for my happiness reduced apathy
I don't want your sympathy,
Tell your children when they grow up to be young men And women
that Pain is their only friend, that will always be around,
so they better learn how to deal with Him,
Tell them never to Let it take their Joy from them,
Even though there's moments when it destroys everything
you believed in.....
everything you love...
everything you are...
Don't you dare let that pain win...
