From Chains To Change

“Take a serious topic like racism or immigration

grown rappers think its cool to talk about drugs but what are we teaching the younger generation.

Think about it, helping others causes no stress.

we can spend our money on pills but we cant feed the homeless.

Sometimes it feels like sin lives in me

other times i dont know what's fake and what's meant to be.

but that all the more reason to spread positive energy.

the right direction is helping others thats the first step.

people are gonna call you names just be yourself.”

Copy and Paste

Sometimes i feel low like im a nobody

i couldn’t find myself so they paste and i copy

i woke up everyday lookin for a new hobby

so i was doin pills in the hotel lobby.

really dont think im doing so well

bad party imma end up dead at a motel. Making no prediction im just sayin if it goes there

then i just told you how i died like oh well.

dont know why im on this long road of sadness, my demons they ahead im just hopeing that i pass em.

My brother died younger sometimes i just wanna catch him and then switch places like his death never happened.

Sometimes i wanna die just to see how it feel little voice in my head like is reality real.

im a teddy bear but they want me made out of steal thats why im trapped in my head and im taking these pills.

Maybe I Am Sad So What

Imagine i would have killed myself that night

without grabbing a pencil or even putting up a fight.

I feel like my life has gone from the dark to the light,

But from the light to the dark would be kind of a scary sight

Those nights and days wishing that i died

cause i was so young i didnt know what it meant to be alive.

I felt broken at times

lies that i told made me question my simplest lines.

But im tryna be better as a human

but i cant be better with all these people assumeing.

What i call a friend makes me unsettle

life will crush you when you soft like a rose pettle

I often ask myself why im on a higher level

Meanwhile i was low cause i was doing my own thing like a rebel.

Outsiders

“I was locked up in my head

sometimes i wish i was dead

instead of filling my brain with happy thoughts id rather fill it with lead

nobody knows how i feel

mom wasnt there so i had to pop pills

tryna keep it real but im stuck in my feels

tryna figure out whats the deal like foreal

Im lost my own mind. I was trynna stay on my grind.

All these thoughts about suicide.

I just wanna break down and cry

but i can cause my emotions all over the place

 tryna figure out whats real and whats fake

no kit kat but from you i need a break.

with you i took a chance

i supplied and she demanded

ripped my heart till i couldnt stand it

then you ask me why im damaged

Texting while your drunk you asked me whats wrong?

im loseing all hope tryna hold on

your a truck im an ant I guess I got rolled on

beauty in the mist

Why do i exist?

Problems i cant fix

 even though im super rich

Problems on my hands so i tried to slit my wrist

had the weight on my shoulders ever since i was a kid

but its not like i could’ve changed

almost crashed the whip had to stay in my own lane

my surroundings made me insane.

overflowing with emotion like blood when you poke at the wrong vein.

trying to forget you but your stuck in my brain like a stain on a shirt

I write the best when im at my worst

at first feelings were high but now there starting to reverse

haveing you by my side is a blessing and a curse.”

Moving Flowers

“The grass is greener on the other side but its filled with lies

Louder than the airplanes in the sky but you cant hear me cry

I scream out to these mortal mind about suicide

and realized that if i ever stopped it would be do or die.

I think of life as a metaphor no one understands

 instead of love its always guns and drugs that are in demand

Hand and hand fighting with brothers like were in pakistan

Man to man arms they lock like the door on a van

and when it lock we lose the key like it was never there

 i told my friends about depression they just really never cared

 god sent me straight to hell and in the devils eyes i stared

 realized he was me and all of a sudden i wasn’t scared

I was always searching for your voice on the phone i could never forget

Can i get an explanation for the hugs i didn’t get?

All i felt was sadness cause my mother was absent

mind always distracted in school i was failing classes

I didn’t have my mother so the drugs were her replacement

Going down this road i dont think imma make it

im always feeling alone she never knew how i felt when she didn’t pick up the phone.

I was dealing with drug use and my mom has no excuse as to why she makes me feel useless

But then again i didn’t know what she went through

I was just a little i kid i wasn’t supposed to be bullet proof

My dad was young he didn’t really know how to raise me

he would hit me so hard that i thought that he hated me

I was only nine and in my mind i felt a since of vacancy.

When i was young i wish that my mom would have taken me.

Holding the pain on my shoulders at a young age.

All though nights feeling caged lost in silent rage.

But ive bloomed to the flower that i am now

writing to realease for others so everybody can stand out

Look how for i came never asking for a hand out.”
