Benefit of Doubt

Maybe, speaking out failed so I chose silence Maybe, peace didn't seem to be an option so I chose violence Maybe I don't sleep because all I hear is sirens Maybe I'm careful with because I have been without Maybe you hate me because you don't know what I'm about Maybe they lied and you believed that because it was that good Maybe what you think is rude is just tough love Maybe she is trash, maybe she is the best girl you'd ever have Maybe she is a mess just needs some quick fix Maybe you better off judged by twelve than carried by six Maybe instead of crying over spilt milk, you should pick the glass and walk away Maybe he parties day and night to skip the nightmares Maybe she is shy because she was once bitten Maybe life just revealed what was once hidden Maybe they've been hustled by men of cloth so they live like heathens Maybe he smiles to hide the pain Maybe he cries walking in the rain Maybe he's happy for real, you wouldn't know how that feels Maybe it all don't make sense because its stupid Or maybe it sounds stupid because you just 2 bit Maybe he's not crazy he's just woke Maybe he's not stingy he's just broke Maybe his ass is guilty as Maybe just maybe he didn't do it. !! Maybe its going too fast, slow down maybe get to know each other better The broken pieces, maybe they can't be fixed Yeah maybe they can Maybe I'm not black just been in dark places Maybe you sad because you just too kind Put your heart on ice from off your sleeve maybe Or maybe just be you, because you is all you can be I'm just saying judging might seem easy But if only you could see the build up
