They'll see


It's expected that I come back around 

Say hi and walk by like nothing ever happened

So young, so impressionable,

So mad,  so unforgettable 

The pain of the memories and words that I heard 

They spring up in my head and made me turn

Into the man I am today 

Better off without judgements I faced back in the day

You were role models, you were my own blood

But now I see that blood.. Doesn't mean much

So I found a family formed by misfits

A band of brothers who would never dismiss me

I am who I am and now I am an older brother

I help my younger siblings learn from one another 

The pain they caused I am sure

That my new family will never endure.
