Free Cee Why
WHY?
Why must I be betrayed by people I respect the most?
Everything in my life has become a contradiction
All I hear now are cowards who are quick to boast
And any respect I had for these people turned out to be pure fiction
Why must the people I consider friends treat me with enmity,
When they should be eager to concede to a simple request?
Why do people I consider allies all seem not to care that I deem them the enemy,
And answer to the demonic voice of the devil’s behest?
I have no place to hide as I used to in crowded bars
I have no place to run from people who sold themselves out for a few sheckles more or less
I am left with a wounded lamb and a body marred by bloody scars
And only sorrow for cowards that this burdened man is left to confess
I used to have a grand design which demanded I fulfill
I used to have an objective which made perfect sense
living life with only time to kill
and trying to sleep when i'm too fu*king tense
i've been betrayed by family and friends
they've all deserted me in my time of need
there were so many beginnings and too many ends
and now I have an ego this confused man must feed
