Good Guy

Once my tears and blood dry I'll transform into the good guy I'll live with a smile like I've never seen love die I'll start to be more careful with associates I'll no longer say or think of anything inappropriate Whatever comes my way I'll shoulder it I won't drink as much I'll overcome my Suicidal thoughts and won't think of such I'll find another way to cope when my ink is stuck And I'm placed with writers block Sitting with my pad without a single idea and most of my night is lost I'll get back up and start again without looking back at the height I dropped I'll take Depression on in the boxing ring if you can get Mike Tyson to watch They won't lend me an ear, So I'll take a leaf from Tyson's book and I'm biting it off I only said that for shock value, hopefully you got quite a shock Isn't it funny how I'm out of ink and they're writing me off But there's a reason they're not getting book deals Why would I have an issue with someone doubting me, when I don't even know how hugs feel I took a lot of punches from Depression and my blood spilled Back when I didn't think I could heal Dragged through a mud field No protection because I didn't have a good shield Sat alone in the darkest room Crying about my scars and wounds But now I know they're part of my story and show that I survived Even if you don't like the flow when I write You know that I'm right Pick your weapon of choice, but I have a loaded pen, so you won't want to show to the fight As a kid I was scared of the dark, until I learned to grow into the night I plan to win so I always grow and adapt to overcome my worst fears There's a lot of hurt here a lot of words shared I'll adapt to the place you don't need to adjust the room Hello Rihanna, I have a crush on you sorry I thought I'd use a line to shoot my shot, but don't worry I'll shut up soon I'm now over my tears and my blood's dried So I'll go back to being the good guy
