Hidden Truth
So many judge without a thought
following the easy route put forth
direction created by those I accuse
once friends whom I removed
but how long ago no one asks
EIGHT YEARS AGO in the past
eight years since they saw me last
in my silence they place a mask
Colino, Dom, Kev, we fell out then
we fell out but they say it didn't happen
and as I stayed quiet they be yapping
telling the world I'll be back again
and that I'm taking time out
because my mind needs a time out
as it's mentally collapsed in doubt
and broken from the drugs about
I'm sick of this being seen as fact
said goodbye in 2013 and didn't go back
not cus I needed time to get back on track
but because I was sick of being treated crap
I snuck out the day Archers arm was put in a cast
when Cols pulled the gas pipe and caused a blast
the day I snuck out the hallway when I asked
Lauren "shut the door quietly" as I escaped fast
Told her don't tell them til ten minutes have passed
when Colino rang me saying I'd upset her
demanding I return as his anger massed
controlling as usual but the control was over
I was gone, telling Lauren before hand
I wouldn't be back but she didn't understand
listening to Dom "he wants attention man"
always desperate for it and always the plan
Later Wendy rings me saying Colino's being odd
trying to pack for his travels saying "it's Trim's job"
like I work for him and need to serve the sod
as I told Wendy "thanks but that's your lot"
I made it clear the bond was broken
but Colino's pride or weed he's smoking
created events that the world soaked in
making people see my truth as jokin
For years he's made out we're the best of friends
now can't understand the way I act to them
promotes himself the good guy to help me mend
playing the victim when I choose to offend
how many years should I stay away
before people note his puzzle don't fit in place
think for yourself they clearly ain't my mates
yet they say they are, you wonder why I'm crazed
as everybody now believes their story
call me mad with the one I put forward
involving Durbz so they all deplore me
though not there BUT I WAS AND I SAW IT
he hung himself but as the boys report it
they were great and only Rayanne caused it
I WAS THERE AND THE TRUTH IS AWKWARD
they were nasty to him and I also endured it
When I left they all changed the story
painted me strange and it remains the drawing
and when I tell the truth you'd rather ignore me
my 1 & only story
