Poem
I'm used to the dark skies I live in the part of town where the sun don't shine I take the long way around Just to find there's no turning back time Ain't nothing here mine Nothing was ever promised to me So I could justify this greed Because with it, I made ends meet fulfilled my needs and learned how to eat I had no choice but to cheat Cuz making it in this world proves Thats theres nothing here for keeps No one listens so it's stupid to speak The strong can't admit they're weak The demons beneath our skin preach and teach Us that we no longer can feel the pain our scars hide I'm used to the dark skies I live in the part of town Where the sun don't rise I've come around Only to find I've ran out of time Nothing here was ever mine Happiness came But it felt so wrong Whose to blame ? Cuz it was fake all along Believing there's a heaven only makes you think you're worthy of a blessing Because of the belief your always second guessing When at the end of it all knowledge is your only weapon But people always fronting because they think they got a good thing coming Causing them to never be satisfied with what they're working for always feeling like they deserve more If there's no answer on your third knock on heavens door Simply means u need to settle the score and take the elevator back to the ground floor and forget the hope that the sky's stars disguise Cuz now I'm used to the dark skies I'm from the part of town Where the sun don't rise It swallowed its pride It's barely alive In due time it'll find That nothing's gonna help it shine Now it knows, What I mean When I say nothings mine
