There's a war, that's constantly waged in my mind A battle between happiness and hurt by design I wish I could erase it and replace it with time But it never seems to leave when I want it to die, yeah, uh And there's no hope for me left I scream in a way that is silence at best If there's a better way to get this shit off my chest Then let me know cause right now I'm just feeling distressed You motherfuckers be taking this shit for granted It's true that everybody lives with the cards their handed I try to be happy at all times, but I get depressed around The winter and fall times This depression has got me searching for truth I try to keep it away while I'm here in the booth And sometimes I think it feels more like a noose But you don't understand cause you You don't know what it's like to have bullets aimed at your chest You don't know what it's like to be so fucking depressed That you wish that your whole life would collapse In a bloody mess in the arms Of the person who ignored your every intent You don't know what it's like to be ridiculed You don't know what it's like To see that motherfucking gash on your wrist Know how it feels to be lonely as shit Know what its like to be labeled a misfit abandoned Emotionally damaged and shit Knowing that you got nowhere to run Knowing that you'll never have the chance to be a kid Or ever have fun Remembering the settling sun You ain't never been ripped from your home Begging to God it was done You ain't never slept outside in the cold On the concrete, praying and hoping that somebody was home You ain't never see roaches or rats You ain't never been exposed to these facts There's a war, that's constantly waged in my mind A battle between happiness and hurt by design I wish I could erase it and replace it with time But it never seems to leave when I want it to die, yeah, uh And there's no hope for me left I scream in a way that is silence at best If there's a better way to get this shit off my chest Then let me know cause right now I'm just feeling distressed You motherfuckers be taking this shit for granted It's true that everybody lives with the cards their handed I try to be happy at all times, but I get depressed around The winter and fall times This depression has got me searching for truth I try to keep it away while I'm here in the booth And sometimes I think it feels more like a noose But you don't understand cause you You ain't never been scared of the light Cause the dark was your home And you scared of the bright side of life You ain't never been broken inside You don't know how it feels to see your closest heroes just die You ain't never been on my side of life It's fucking gritty and makes me wish I actually had something to hide You ain't never seen your parents give up On each other and on themselves Whenever they got stuck in a rut You ain't never been smacked in the face By both of them and called a disgrace When you trying to hold onto faith Cause I'm suburban don't mean shit to me dawg My fam will roll in 80 deep and stomp the shit out you frauds You ain't never walked 6 miles to school While the rain was pouring While it's storming with no umbrella to use You ain't never hurt a day in your life Compared to the shit I promise you Has definitely been hurting in mine
