Dark Times
Dark times in my mind are nightmares I bare/ and remind in lines of my rhymes/ the pain I sustain/ times I can't change/ I remain chained /my thoughts maintain to explain the blame and shame I contain/ so I sleep at night to fight the dreams I've seen that despite my life/ they mean to demise my eyes cause their light isn't bright/ ( long pause ) I give in my will is paper thin
I skip to my Lou to do my drugs/ the fight is threw/ enough is enough/ I've given up myself I can't help there's no trust/ and I listen to no one else/ so dark times in my mind are felt/ who knew if you combine blue with red you'd be beaten purple and left for dead/ I'd yelp for help but more blows dealt/ so I have to get up/ and do it myself
So out the house I go for a stroll/ midnight alright at night I'm hype/ who knows with no light how far I go/ all I hear are whispers and peeps/ so dark I can't see the guy beside I until I get hit on my blind side/ ducked taped and hog tied/ I tried to rely on I/ but me grieves and hates the lies inside I say/ such as I'll be fine and ok/ attacked by me I see/ kicked and slapped with my hands and feet attached behind my back/ me leaves cause I can't walk and can't talk my jaw bleeds/ believe I tried but died inside/ bitter sweet my dreams as I sleep
