Numb
I lost the closest thing to me
And it's trapped in my head
Wake numb to no emotions
It's feels like I'm dead
Knew love because he taught me
Still it ain't fair
How could love me and death take him
Nothing can compare
He always taught me to love others
Yet surrounded by snakes
In a world so cold and cruel
Yet still I can't break
Daddy told me don't let them get you
A hundred in my face
Lost a real one by an opportunist
God know the fake.
If I told you then it's deep
What I see in my sleep
Numb to what I want to do
To God my soul
He keep
Loyalty only blood my blood did he shed
Numb to this emotion
Can't wish he was dead
I got a child to feed any and all costs
He boasting she bragging
Claiming she boss
Game got so ratchet
God only take losses
If I spook on this emotion
The devil would see red
Numb to this emotion
I work go harder
Don't let her see me weep
Taking chances on others blinded loss
In my heart God see him bleed
No emotions
