Better Is Giving Back

I'm better for the pain I've caused I rise above it all I unwind and circumvent I tend to the breech that I have rent Give me mine, break the mask Tell me you will take it back Better is - giving back, Better is - giving back I have deprived those I love I have been away I have despaired all of hope I am soul / feel my sway I am Spirit, I am Life If the truth is we all will fall then who will rise Take my place; there's no one there I've seen it all from afar Take theses battles, take these scars Maybe they will help you too Take the stars in the night If you can count them then you can count my pain Oh Lord hold me down Tell me this life is over now My heart is ice, it's cold has hell This is the day when hell freezes over Switch from a sweet voice I'm a completely different person Yea the previous verses were wrote from prison And If you care to notice the difference I make a parrerral and I slam down a perpendicular Now foothills rise up the size of the Appalachian mountains Betters giving back but I'm gonna give it how they gave it me Now spies have been compromised People go to college and they still perish for a lack knowledge The Government don't give a damn about the people Every since George Washington there ain't never been a man to meet his equal
