| I look into my past and I can barely force a smile
|
| The common misconceptions that parents afford a child
|
| From the fires of experience happiness hand me downs
|
| And the wisdom you acquire not angry and actin' wild
|
| You’re worse than the bullies, the rapists and pedophiles
|
| It’s you that we should trust to protect us and make us proud
|
| I just try to be the man that you presented to me
|
| Not the man that you showed your friends and you pretended to be
|
| I looking mami’s eyes and say «I kill' em if I could»
|
| But I’m too damn weak and small and I’m not sure if I even should
|
| But I’ve seen what he’s done to you
|
| And I know it isn’t good
|
| If I could be a shining armor, I swear to god that I would
|
| And I wish I said more things but I was young and I was voiceless
|
| And I couldn’t find the words that
|
| Made you feel like they were choices
|
| Make you feel like you were priceless
|
| When you petrified with fear
|
| Go tell my sistas and my moms, just know I’m stronger and I’m here
|
| Are you brave in the dark, are you brave
|
| Are you brave in the dark
|
| Are you king when the lights on
|
| Are you brave in the dark, are you brave
|
| Are you brave in the dark
|
| Are you king when the lights on
|
| Are you brave in the dark, are you brave
|
| Are you brave in the dark
|
| Are you king when the lights on
|
| Are you brave in the dark, are you brave
|
| Are you brave in the dark
|
| Are you king when the lights on
|
| Shout out to the children who has overcame these challenges
|
| Prayers to the kids who couldn’t cope and broke they bandages
|
| Old and very young that this world is filled with savages
|
| Even if ya home ya never safe but we can manage this
|
| Shout out to the mothers that tried to hold it steady had a
|
| Sprained wrist and black eyes and still would make spaghetti and
|
| Told to look away whenever things were getting scary but the
|
| Vision through my space, stop fingerprints would not impair me
|
| Plus I knew that we was next, its ok ma, take a rest
|
| You’ve given blood and flesh, I’ll let ya K here get the rest
|
| And though I’m heavy wit regrets I know one thing for sure
|
| That your fears that make you fall are even smaller standing tall
|
| So I’m standing with my chin way higher than it should be
|
| And got punched right in that statement and rattled and shook my teeth
|
| And I swallowed one or two, staggered upon my feet
|
| And then he kicked my legs from under
|
| But still wouldn’t face defeat
|
| Are you brave in the dark, are you brave
|
| Are you brave in the dark
|
| Are you king when the lights on
|
| Are you brave in the dark, are you brave
|
| Are you brave in the dark
