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
