Dear Self (Can I Talk To You)

And I see no bravery\nNo bravery in your eyes anymore\nOnly sadness\nAnd I see no bravery\nNo bravery in your eyes anymore\nOnly sadness, only sadness\nDear self can I talk to you?\nI been trying to have this conversation for years\nBut you won’t listen\nDamn, are you that plain ignorant? You’re so indignant\nPlease come off that high chair you’re sitting in\nBefore you snatched from it or strapped to it\nYa body used as a conduit, a thousand volts flow through you\nYa life gone over something foolish\nTalking to you is so useless\nYa head harder than them walls you’ll be housed in soon\nBefore ya body’s embalmed then you lie in tomb\nOpen ya ears, eyes and heart 'cause that hour’s soon\nAnd the hour shall cometh when Ish Rahzel blows his trumpets\nThe sky shall crack, the stars will plummet\nThe sun will rise in the West, you’ll drown in your own sweat\nAnd when that day shall be, I’ll bet I’ll see no bravery, no bravery\nAnd I see no bravery\nNo bravery in your eyes anymore\nOnly sadness\nDear self can I talk to you?\n(Only sadness)\nDear self can I talk to you?\n(Only sadness)\nWho are you to lecture me?\nYou question me about my life and the choices I made?\nHow dare you to place me in an early grave?\nWhoa, why you gotta talk to me in that fashion?\nYou can bury me face down with an open casket\nThis whole world can kiss mine\nTell me what this life got to offer\nA crooked preacher and a church alter?\nA short speech and a long offering?\nA deep grave and a short coffin?\nOh, I get it, you righteous now\nWell, let the truth be told\nYou done smoke every blunt I rolled\nYou done drove every car I stole\nCooked up every crack I sold\nYou done slept with every trick I laid\nCollected off every bet I made\nBut I guess you done found Christ\nI ain’t know He was missing\nWhoa, watch your blasphemy\nMan, I ain’t asked to be, just let me live my life\nNow hold on, no, you listen\nYou was there on every decision\nWhether it was right or wrong\nAnd now you trying to right my wrongs, you got some nerve\nYou even give me a words I write in this song\nYou see, my vision’s much clearer\nIt’s not me but it’s you that I see when I look in the mirror\nAnd you call yourself saving me?\nBut it’s through your eyes that I see no bravery, no bravery\nAnd I see no bravery\nNo bravery in your eyes anymore\nOnly sadness, only sadness\nOnly sadness, only sadness
