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
