See It My Way
i sing out loud bacause i am free
i cry at night because you're not with me
i pray to God to forgive my sins
i go to church to confess them
i understand that we are all different
and thats what makes the world go round
yet i struggle with resistance that
bounds me to the ground
i laugh when you are angry to avoid a bigger fight
you call me out my name to make yourself feel better
we make love under circumstances that don't always make sense
people say i'm a looser because i didn't finish school
i ask them if they lost their job would they know how to survive
in the streets lies a jungle that leaves every men for his own
at the place nothing matters except saving face
i wear my clothes some with holes but to me its called fashion
to you its about the price and dollar otherwise it belongs in the trash bin
so many happy people masking their feelings behind cold eyes
what a world we live in when the truth is based on lies
enter my world and walk in my shoes see if its what you'd choose
then go to bed in your fancy house and drink your filthy booze
snooze your life away im living for today
