What I Gave

What is with this bad behavior I am tryna be your savior Pulling you out of this rut Do I have to kick your butt Out of this gangs initiation Each days a continuation Of my efforts to make you see This false sense of reality They've been marking on your brain It's becoming such a strain To get your head out of the clouds Maybe if I got more loud And angry you might just hear Love in my voice to show I care Your innocence is being taken By gang members who are fakin' The real reasons they want you Isn't cause their friendships true They just need a patsy that Will take the fall when things go "splat" MY best ideas are not working They just still continue jerking You around just like a slave It doesn't matter what I gave To keep you out and not sucked down By so called friends who come around There's nothing left I can do It's totally up to you For noticing that I will be A real friend--why can't you see That what I give is so much more Than these clowns outside the door 6/20/2014
