Essence
WE THE ESSENCE
WE ARE GOD’S CHILDREN
THE FUTURE’S PRESENCE
IN LIFE WE ARE GIVEN A CHANCE
BUT NOT A CHANCE TO CHOOSE
ON HOW WE WALK A IN OUR OWN SHOES
I DIDN’T CHOOSE TO BE ME
SO WHAT IS THE USE
IM GOD GIVEN BUT ABUSED
BEING EXPOSED TO LIES AND TRUTH
ENDING UP IN ME LOOSING MY YOUTH
TO THINK I WAS UNDER YOUR OWN WING
ENDING UP IN ME NOT A BEING BUT JUST A THING
RISING IN GROWTH AND LIFE BEGS THE QUESTION
WAS I PLANNED OR AM I SOMTETHING ELSE?
BECAUSE IM YOUR CHILD, NOT YOUR FUTURE WEALTH
THE PURITY OF MY FLAME,
IS SLOWLY REDUSED BY YOUR OVER POWERING ANGER
PLEASE! DO ME A FAVOR OF
LOVING ME EVEN IF I WRONGED YOU
I DON’T UNERSTAND WHY PAIN MEAN LOVE
HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT
WHEN WHAT YOU IS WRONG
IM SURROUND BY YOU
YET YOU THINK I WONT BECOME LIKE YOU
IM A SPONGE OF LIFE
TAKING IN EVERYTHING FROM MY SOCIETY
WHAT YOU DON’T WANT ME TO SEE
ILL SEE BECAUSE YOU SAW IT
WHAT YOU DON’T WANT ME TO HEAR
ILL HEAR BECAUSE YOU HEARD IT
AND WHAT YOU DON’T ME TO KNOW
I’LL KNOW BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT
