I'm not sure how I should start this off I guess I could just welcome you Welcome to my heart it's open I got nothing else to lose Yeah I'm might say some things that you might think was never true Or you might hear some things that'll only start upsetting you So Before I put a mask and hide a few things I'll let you know I can't fathom how I can do this To stand here in front of everyone No matter who listens I'll let you walk with me But I'll be sure to ask you if the shoe fits What's good about having pride when it stripped me of my confidence And robbed me of my joy It doesn't matter if I made money or experienced some kind of accomplishment I had so much fear of the man I was becoming I was never really good at taking people's compliments Felt worse about myself I don't deserve nothing positive I'll take all the punishment the pain And the dominance Ask me to be specific and I might just end up dodging it Have you ever felt like you were under water and drowning But when you looked up some boats came by but you acted like you never saw them Cuz your hiding to protect you from the shame So you felt a little safer in the bottom Then you caught a memory of one of the times When mom and daddy was around They wouldn't leave you behind You remembered feeling protected You always felt secure You wish that was still true But that ain't the case no more We were really young when we all had to take a hit Momma raised us by herself my grandmother took us in Since we were left alone We had nowhere else to live Momma seemed aggravated She was feeling powerless At this point it seems like I've experienced some abandonment But at least i never wondered or asked where my momma went Cuz she has always been there But on the other hand i've been praying and begging God to tell me where my father been Now let me put you in the perspective of that little kid Countless of times his father told him he would visit them Then one time he said he was coming and told his siblings They waited on the porch for him to come but he never did And I thought after 20 years I could bury that emotion and bury those tears But burying this monster ended up making him stronger My feelings came back to slaughter Ima always be alone Man I wish I had a father I Spoke with the pastor that I met in Sebring I Was gonna hurt myself was in a dark season He said to get over it or he'll put me on the spot Cuz If I'm thinking about suicide he'll hand me to the cops, He also said that taking some pills might really help that problem I couldn't take that advice so I just nodded I said I couldn't cuz of an overdosing trauma, And then he goes on to tell me that my death should be the other option Well that explains why I might have issues to trust God Too many male figures were okay to let my heart drop You say that He will always be my Heavenly father But I trusted someone once until he left his son and daughter I'm really trying to believe that God will always love me But this trauma is resurfacing to sabotage me He said he wants to heal me and that He will take care of this But every time He gets closer I end up running away from him But I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one There's plenty of others who thought their life was done Finding hope was just a loss Their efforts wouldn't be enough So giving up might be the cost Is that why he was so distant tried his best to toughen up I can't lie I know he needed love We were young when my father came back and he took him from us Years later that lead em to the streets Started rocking with the thugs That's the sad story of a kid and how he grew up When he went to school teachers told him he ain't worth nothing And then he dropped out Avoiding the subject And Started running of the block then got put in prison He said he proved them right and believed he'll never amount to something 15 years I saw him in and out of prison While people around said he's a failure to be witnessed And then he got out He ain't where to start He needed money fast and called his homies from the block Now he's Tryina get another dollar Trying to get some change in his pocket by selling some bottles See him here today but tomorrow he could be a goner That's him everyday cuz he thinks everybody forgot him When you put it that way our thoughts might be that common No one really liked to see him Cuz his body started rotting Heart is thrown into adoption Moving into every problem His whole world had to spin in circles But nobody stopped him Now that I see his face I can't even contemplate Why he had to live with all the things that resonates With his aggression that came from his pain I wonder if he had a good father If things would've turned out differently I wonder if we had a good father if things would turn out differently! I know I should've moved on But at least you could've told me that i'm not alone Instead of saying that my emotions were all wrong Couldn't hold back even if it hurt us Said we gotta trust God, don't complain about your burdens So it's left under the surface and we wouldnt know Would you still love us if we couldn't let go Couldn't let go Couldn't let go Couldn't let go Whoa If we couldn't let go Couldn't let go Couldn't let go Couldn't let go whoa If we couldn't let go Couldn't let go Couldn't let go We know we should've moved on But at least you coulda told us that we're not alone Instead of saying that our emotions are all wrong
