Through adventures of optimism Somewhere I taught my self That all it takes is a lil patience You'll get back up and you can walk yourself Somewhere the pain got too much and I lost myself Drowning in my own tears steady begging for help How you expect to know love When it never was there When you don't know yourself Failed experiments with love had me feeling different Signed my on the dotted line for it and I didn't see the difference Biggest fear was being being alone and being away from it Now I gotta face it everyday All I ever did was sacrificed Now that I have nothing Maybe I'm a martyr or A ***** who just can't get it right I fought for it so much Hands broken and ****** now I can't seem to fight for what's right In the mirror Lil black boy with shrouded in tears is what I see every night
