Shadows Of The Past

Where did this all begin? Maybe when I was still a kid Listening to my family get into arguments.. Screaming like demons throwing Watched as it rolled by, at some point I lost my innocence So in a sense I grew to resent Everyone who had it better than I did Like did y'all ever spend nights on end Dealing with starvation? No I'm not complaining But man back then I didn't have . At thirteen I was kicked out of my house So night after night I'd find a place to crash then when morning came around I had to bounce, fourteen was when I thought I had it all figured out Selling weed just to put food up in my mouth Stealing alcohol just so I'd have friends who'd hangout Fifteen is when everything went back south Drama, drugs, and sex is everything that brought me down
