| This is dedicated to you, you know who you are.
|
| Listen… Yo…
|
| I called you when I needed you most, I thought we would link
|
| I told you the bad news, you haven’t talked to me since
|
| Frankly, I don’t want to talk to a shrink
|
| I might look happy but I’m angry and I’m tortured within
|
| You come back around now, with your hands out
|
| I can see the guilt in your eyes, maybe you understand now
|
| It isn’t the fact that when I talk you didn’t listen
|
| It’s that you said you’d call back in a minute but you didn’t
|
| Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to beg friend
|
| It just feels lifes my hit a dead end
|
| I tried to turn around but now my back’s against the wall
|
| And the pain just won’t stop I might have to end it all
|
| I tell myself life is sacred, It’s not right to waste it
|
| I feel surrounded but at the same time isolated
|
| At times my own day dreams scare me
|
| I find myself hating anyone that may seem carefree
|
| Id rather go out smiling than crying at home
|
| I’ve realized that my worst fear is dying alone
|
| At times I lose my composure but that’s not a surprise
|
| I can’t control the emotions I keep bottled inside
|
| Don’t pretend there’s a friendship you and me share
|
| When you hit rock bottom people are usually scared
|
| I guess stupidly I expected you to be there
|
| And when the shit hits the fan man, who really cares
|
| Yea listen…
|
| I was just sitting here feeling sorry for myself and helpless
|
| Then I realized that I was just being selfish
|
| I’m a soldier, my self-centred brain is my helmet
|
| But when reality hit me I felt sick
|
| We run from our problems — there’s many that are paralyzed
|
| We take life for granted — these simply never had a life
|
| We’ve heard it all before — some people are deaf
|
| That tramp lives in a box while I sleep in my bed
|
| Inside I’m a tortured man who hates living.
|
| But there’s people being tortured in Abu Ghraib prison
|
| There’s youths right now that are dying from Malaria
|
| So we can have clean running water in our area
|
| That shit there, has got me feeling ashamed
|
| If you’ve been through it, tell me what’s the meaning of pain
|
| You went court, and they locked you away when you we’re acting wild
|
| There’s people in Guantanamo Bay that never had a trial
|
| Weve seen a lot — there’s some that were born blind
|
| In some places hip hop can’t be performed live
|
| You whopped bare chicks, you think you a heavyweight?
|
| In Africa 6000 people die from AIDS everyday
|
| And the babies there get it from their mothers,
|
| So think about that next time you fuck without a rubber
|
| It hurts but no one said the truth would be fair
|
| The world’s a messed up place man, but who really cares? |
