Heroic Tragedy

I hear the pain in his voice as he sing the song from his soul
 Making me wonder why did they chose a memorial marathon to bomb was it to inflect more pain upon the Boston souls 
 Man on T.V. Said all he could do is pray 
 Lord dont they know your the light the truth the way
 Even though sometimes I demolish that same truth
 Even though its the same advice that got me through
 Maybe its because even knowing the fact God is not a God of confusion
 But in flesh we fall short of his glory and for the.devils illsion
 Listened to others and that same advice almost killed me
 All because in todays time people can't let others live happy
 The man I sacrificed my pride life yeah my all and all for tried to turn me into some type of crack whore
 Found out after his daddy proved to his mother that they wasn't gonna make it anymo
 Lucky somebody prayed for me
 because I could've been dead with my body floating up sea
 Why you putting out this story that gives reasons for them to talk about you
 They talked about Jesus and he was perfect through and through
 I need to let the weak know they can be stand tall 
 Ive been done dirty by the ones I trusted the most but the names I wont call
 Watching them.live their lives like nothing wrong passing judgement on others like you aint got no sin
 Now you got kids and my day starts off with a prayer for them
 My parents dont struggle because my Education is my hustle
 I am a Goddess A Queen A hero ready to take one for the team 
 I hate watching the news just to hear my generation shatter there dreams 
 Drugs sex violence the world that surrounds me
 But I wont let it hold me back another day
 Look in the mirror with me and what do ours eyes say
