Where am I Now


I'm sitting all alone Crying for help No one will listen ‘cause They'll know ill screw up again Walking down the street looking lonely Don’t got nothing to eat Nowhere to sleep Where am I now Drugs are the poison of my regrets Day one and my mama is gone Sadness kept tearing me apart And there I sat, thinking to myself where am, I now Age seven I saw my daddy cry He cursed at the phone suffocating himself with his tie And there he broke the window and left with a drift of grief Moving from house to house age 13 There I started drinking and doing drugs I couldn’t stop ‘cause of the pain I had endured I saw a hand reaching forward helplessly in need Help me please Oh help me So take it from someone who knows Don’t take that poison that ruins your life Bring light into your life
