I came from abuse, I came from sorrow.
What happened yesterday doesn't determine tomorrow.
What you were isn't who you have to be
Nothing is fixed...transform your reality
People in my old city thought they knew about me
Now i'm on full scholarship at Seattle University
Just proves, you decide who you're gonna be
Don't let anyone else decide, be someone you're proud to be.

Love, hurt, and betrayal.
Love isn't what the media depicts, aint no fairy tale.
People will hurt you, and you won't always succeed.
Love is a want, not a need..
Sometimes to love is to lose.
But in these days in times, people choose to abuse.
The word love has no meaning when it's improperly used.
Cheating, lies, and betrayal
Girls in clubs, bodies on sale
These world is cheap, i'm ready to bail
Forever single or forever alone, you choose.
Both undesirable, yet not so comparable.
To love yourself is the key.
Don't let anyone else determine who you should be.
To really love is to love unconditionally.
No need to change if you really love me
Make up your mind, who's it gonna be,
Cuz I don't need your love, i'll just keep doing me.

Am I the one to blame?
The innocent little girl...will things ever be the same?
To say I've been the best sister, a false claim.
Thoughts of losing her are driving me insane.
Running away is her tactic, a way to numb the pain.
Life hasn't been easy, no sunshine, just rain
Drugs, drama, and pain
Is it in vain?
Feelings of failure
As a sister and a friend.
Am I the one to blame?

Thoughtless patriotism in the United States, has made us a nation full of hates
Hates for Muslims, Arabs,
making enemies instead of brothers.
We wanted chicken, but we only got bones.
Lots of debts and unpaid loans.
We say we want peace but we choose war.
Spending money on bombs til there ain't no more.'
We like to think we're kind and nice
But we sure ain't no sugar or spice
It's stupid how we choose to live
We want equality, but the truth is,
It will never truly
Be a reality.

Emotionless, heartless, cold
Same ****, new day, gets old
No longer family, love is sold
Drugs, drama, and pain
Is it in vain?
She's lost everything, nothing to gain
She cuts for attention.. She creates tension
Broken home is what she creates
Never caring for others fates
Addiction
