Manakin (Pt.2) (My Secret Sin)

Instead of being slaughtered by my conscience I'd rather let you treat me how you treat me Make it a lil easier for me to stand again So for now you can label me your personal manakin After the brawl I stayed the night in the parking lot and I ain't gone lie If I had no other choice but to be homeless I'd rather die A week later I showed up in Richwood at my sisters door steps With the few fabrics I had left My clothes stunk from being left out in the rain But hell, who am I to complain Chilled there for about a month Then she and I fell into it Basically because I was still cool with her ex So I bailed on that scene in search for the next And I feel guilty that her father past Being the last time I saw them I needed a ride And he was the only person I could ask I started school in August My final year, I was finally a senior Felt like I could be praised even by Athena About the last week of the month I found myself walking away from a teacher Next thing I know I'm expelled They tried to keep it a secret But the community found out About the school boards mess up Before the documents were mailed Still that ain't change nothing So I had to move to Mangham Again, I became a real popular attraction And as you know that brings jealousy and envy So I was again split by the fraction I guess I should've just kept it to myself and walked away Because I ended up in the ring with nine different opponents I guess they found my misery and decided to clone it So Instead of being slaughtered by my conscience I'd rather let you treat me how you treat me Make it a lil easier for me to stand again So for now you can label me your personal manakin
