No Title


I walk around feelin like a hostage

In fear of my memories haughtin me 

And when they do I crawl away like a coward

Steady at the moon howlin 

Alone ain't nobody carin 

I never beg for a peice of bliss so they never share it

So I embrace the struggle stayin humble till I outburst in aggression 

And I try to leave it in cus if I let go I might do somethin unspeakable 

Then I will never speak again 

And be left rememberin the bad times like I do now 

At these times I question 

Was I ever really happy 

Should have seen that forshadowing 

Like my parents when I turn 18 the checks ain't comin so we gon have to embrace

the pain 

Embrace the struggle 

God don't let me slip let me stay with you
