You were there when life was hard
Living without the regard
Making art
I wanna live in your fridge?
You notice anything I did?
My mom did too much, for me to be this stupid
Hate on me bitch
I care more than they did
No kid a family could miss
Talk shit
I just exist
For every man that tried
Deserved more than each an every lie
If I hope you find a better guy?
Will you stop threatening my peace of mind
You're no peace of mine
Just what they need in their life
I don't want you to hurt, you're more important to me than being right
I'd settle for talking to you till you fell asleep
I know it's just addled paranoia, I wonder if people merely act sweet?
Give you enough rope to hang yourself, even in that state I knew there was more to you
After all, who else knew "I was gonna get that ball"?
Try as they might
I don't want nothing that lives in the shadow of your light
They think if they do someone else's shadow work, they're exempt from treating people right?
Wish I paced myself an remembered more instead of asking about it the next night
That's life
You experience love even in it's foolish one sided light an vanishes before the sun comes out
8 years later an a night I can barely recall is still on mind
Maybe you'll see that recollection sometime, an understand I wouldn't waste your time acting kind
I lived under a fluorescent light
Indicating the passing of time
My imagination used to make me fear the dark
Now I enjoy it
Guess incarceration made me gracious for the little shit
Enjoying that freedom
Was enough for people to treat me dumb?
Have you ever been a home, without one?
Have you ever looked for respect where there was none?
I'm sure you have at some point
How they inspire you an disappoint me
Is the different ways we acknowledge artistry
Trying to show you how much you mean to me
Trying to be the person...
