lyrics

I was birthed to a mother who was a drug addict teenMy father was a 16 year old punk who had nothing to savor
They both came from dysfunctional homes
It's an on going problem that has taken root in our soil
A moment of clarity at the birth of their son 
Quickly turns to regret when their freedom is shunned 
Their disappointed parents were quick to point the finger but behind their masks they weep as the memories began to linger of when they once stood in those shoes
Deja vu 
They saw no selfless purpose for me so what followed was abuse
CPS gets involved Until my mother had her issues solved 
Years pass 
So many emotions clash, finally
She gets her life intact 
So it seemed
At the age of 9
Under her roof 
I was taken from my bed to a foreign land
Against my will
For two years straight I was molested and treated like a slave
Like I had no face or name
I sought after a church 
But it all ended in vain 
10 years later I'm home and I've gone through 7 different families 
They all said
He's too rebellious and broken
And. It enough money in the world can produce enough patients in our hearts to mold and shape him into the man he needs to be, so let him be. 
Let him go through the prisons because He'll never succeed, he will never amount to anything.
He is oblivious to reality
So just let him be
And next thing I know 
I'm 21 years old 
With this curse embedded in my soul.
In every direction I was pulled because of my weary heart 
I desperately longed for acceptance because to me I was a reflection of a deadbeat fool
An atheistic mindset driven by hatred towards anyone who claimed to speak the truth of God
I'm not going to bow a knee to someone who deserted me
A selfish fable to keep people living in dismay 
And I lived this up everyday
Giving my body away
Although money was not my gain
But rather throwing away their precious hearts 
Brought me joy and them pain
I was sick and twisted in my train of thought
And I thought the world owed me everything for this life I got
