READ BETWEEN THE LINES
ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE PROJECT HALLS
ANOTHER POOR LITTLE BOY USE TO STARE AT THE STAR'S
ABUELITO SAID WORK HARD IT COULD ALL BE YOURS
SO THE DREAMS AND BIG THINGS DIDN'T SEEM SO FAR
MY TIO TRIED HIS BEST AND WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH
BUT HE GAVE US ALL HIS LOVE SO HE GAVE US ENOUGH
WHEN THE TIMES GOT ROUGH TIO GOT IN A RUT
EVER SINCE ABUELO DIED HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO THE PIPE NOW HE'S GIVING US UP
NOW I'M GROWING UP TOO FAST
TIO SAID IT HAD TO HAPPEN OR WE WOULDN'T LAST
THEN I STARTED UNDERSTANDING WHY HE LOOKED BAD
I DIDN'T TELL MY BABY COUSIN WHEN HE FINALLY PASSED
SO NOW WE BORROW, BEG, AND STEAL JUST TO GET BY
MY COUSIN ASKS WHY SO I TELL ANOTHER LIE
I HIDE THE TEARS BUT I'M CRYING ON THE INSIDE
MY FACE IS HARD EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE
READ BETWEEN THE LINES
LITTLE BIT OF LOVE BUT IT'S NEVER WHAT WE NEEDED
SEARCHING FOR A FAMILY THE STREETS COULDN'T BE IT
LIFE AIN'T FAIR AND I'M STARTING TO FEEL CHEATED
TRYING TO FIND THE MEANING (it's my life) LOOKING FOR A REASON
NO MONEY, NO FOOD AND WE LIVED NOWHERE
DIRTY CLOTHES, PEOPLE LAUGHED I REMEMBER THE STARE'S
BUT I HAD TO BE STRONG SO I HID MY FEARS
FEEL LIKE I LIVED A LIFETIME IN 14 YEARS
DIFFRENT FOSTER HOMES BUT DON'T NONE OF THEM CARE
AND I HATE TO SEE MY COUSIN CRY CAUSE THAT AIN'T FAIR
HE'S TO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE END UP HERE
SO I PROMISE IT'LL CHANGE EVERY SINGLE NEW YEAR
BUT STILL IT DON'T STOP AND I KNOW IT'S COMING EVERYTIME THE BALL DROPS
ANOTHER CAR RIDE, ANOTHER PLACE TO GET DROPPED, A TEMPORARY SPOT, JUST ANOTHER PIT STOP
AND EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN A STRUGGLE JUST TO GET BY
I STILL BELIEVE I REFUSE TO LET MY SPIRIT DIE
THAT'S WHY I GREET ANOTHER FAMILY WITH A PHONY SMILE
CAUSE THEY CAN NEVER KNOW THE PAIN I FEEL INSIDE
"READ BETWEEN THE LINES"
*LITTLE BIT OF LOVE BUT IT'S NEVER WHAT WE NEEDED (it's my life)
SEARCHING FOR A FAMILY THE STREETS COULDN'T BE IT
LIFE AIN'T FAIR AND I'M STARTING TO FEEL CHEATED (it's my life)
TRYING TO FIND THE MEANING LOOKING FOR A REASON
ONE DAY WE COMING AND THE NEXT DAY WE LEAVING
GOTTA KEEP THE FAITH I DON'T WANNA STOP BELIEVING
WINTER EVERY SEASON CAUSE (my life) MY HEART STARTED FREZZING
BUT YOU PROBABLY COULDN'T SEE IT
YOU HAD TO READ BETWEEN IT... (you gotta read between)*
THE ROOM WAS PITCH BLACK WHEN THE CHANDELIER FELL
THE FIRST TIME HE REACHED OUT I REMEMBER IT WELL
WHISPERED LIES IN MY EAR CAUSE HE TOLD ME HE CARED
I SAW A DIFFRENT KIND OF CUE CUY IN THE WAY THAT HE STARED
I KEPT IT TO MYSELF AND PRAYED TO ABUELITO UP IN HEAVEN CAUSE IM STUCK IN HELL
FEELING TRAPPED IN A CELL AND IT'S JUST ME,
I USE TO CRY ON THE PILLOW UNDERNEATH THE SHEETS
ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER MONTH AND IT'S NO END
WORRIED SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN I DON'T KNOW WHEN
BUT LATELY IT'S BEEN GETTING HARDER JUST TO PRETEND
CAUSE ONCE AGAIN I SEE THE CUE CUY WHEN I SEE HIM
HE SEE'S IT TOO NOW HE'S TELLING ME TO RUNAWAY
BUT I GOT BABY BOY WITH ME WHERE WE GONNA STAY?
STILL MY FACE CAN'T REVILE WHAT I FEEL INSIDE
BUT YOU CAN SEE IT IF YOU LOOK INTO MY EYES
READ BETWEEN THE LINES
IT'S MY LIFE
YEAH, IT'S MY LIFE
*LITTLE BIT OF LOVE BUT IT'S NEVER WHAT WE NEEDED
SEARCHING FOR A FAMILY THE STREETS COULDN'T BE IT
LIFE AIN'T FAIR AND I'M STARTING TO FEEL CHEATED
TRYING TO FIND THE MEANING (it's my life) LOOKING FOR A REASON
ONE DAY WE COMING AND THE NEXT DAY WE LEAVING
