You've seen a face that can remain unfazed While being put in her place She must be custom made for you What can she do From a young age was made to feel ashamed Of many dreams she dreamed And so she gave away the view I'm made for you Everytime you yell when you point and shout Everytime you tell me what it's all about I get deja vu to a youth lived through the eyes of another When you live in fear long enough you hear subtle warning signs coming through loud and clear So you disappear in the well-worn gears of a life undercover I've been abused so I'm used to it Used to just takin it 'Stead of breaking down I just get nondescript and to avoid conflict I don't react I don't talk back no matter what the cue Avert my eyes and muffle sighs Just visualize you're through I was made for you She says okay 'bout 50 times a day Guess that's the price you pay If you want to maintain the peace She's well policed Then walks on eggs As every morsel begs And finds herself with dregs This is a famine not a feast To say the least Everytime you jeer when you laugh out loud When you tell me you are anything but proud I can hear the sound of the cheering crowd Hound you on for another When you land that punch with a sickening crunch And a hush settles over the peanut munchers Seeing you flush as you feel the rush of a thug unrecovered I've been accused so I'm used to it Used to just fakin it 'Stead of flipping out I just look drab and whipped and just get on with it I don't respond I can't come on no matter what you do Desensitized, I muffle cries Just visualize you're through I was made for you We've turned a page At least that's what you say We're gonna make our way Out of this crazy maze we drew She's sorry too Things gotta change I'll let you out your cage We can escape our fates And pave a different avenue This time it's true Then you slam that boot With a grand salute And the pain blooms brighter than a hoop de do I recall the brute force that called galoot Haulin off for another It's a real meet cute When you point to shoot Fool brooding down the barrel of the bullet chute Got no therapeutic effect can mute it Or run duck and cover I've been amused so I'm used to it Used to gettin over it Part of giving up is when you're giving in And to forgive again I don't fight back I can't relax No matter what is said Just close my eyes and hold my sides And visualize you're dead I was made for this I was made for this
